Agreed, the Nexus One is the best for at&t. Not that there is a big selection of Android devices to choose from.
Can't you use a Motorola Milestone if you unlock it? Isn't it basically a GSM version of the Moto Droid?
I don't know that much about the Milestone. Check to make sure that it has the proper 3G frequencies to work on at&t. Even if it does, I would take the Nexus One over the Milestone.
if i have to choose, ill take the nexus because its made by google so you'll be able to update the OS as soon as google revise them

As others have said, The at&t N1 or the Canadian Telus/Rogers Milestone are the best.
The Milestone would be an expensive purchase and the N1 would be unsubsidised. Hardly ideal if you're after a cheap smartphone.

As others have stated the Nexus is your best and realistically only choice at the moment.
I have the N1 and its good phone. Awesome screen, easily rootable. Nexus owners will get updates generally before anyone else, so that's a plus. Another plus for me is by purchasing an unlocked phone, I did not touch my contract and incur the higher ETF AT&T is imposing, nor is my expiration date extended.

Samsung i897
It looks like at&t is going to get the Samsung i897
Not too many details, yet, but it may ship with an unskinned version of Android 2.1.

No it's still not as responsive as the iPhone, but I think the reviews were referring to the touch-sensitive buttons that don't work because you just have to press a bit above them for them to activate.
