Exclamation I got some money...help me choose DSLR

Hello!
I got some money and I wanna buy new DSLR to start having fun with photography. Always had compact Canon IXus and now using freind's EOS 350D and its time ti finally buy somethign own.
Well i have few options and would like to hear what u think about it,cause every advice will be helpfull, so here i go:
1.)Canon Eos 40d -> Its 5.500 kn (Im in Croatia), its around 1.070$. Its body only and will get Kit 18-55 IS from friend for 70 $ so if i choose 40d it will cost me 1.150 $. I think this one is great but many people talk about problems with error99 and shutter problems after only 8ooo shots. So its kinda hard to really say ill buy it cause itc obviously some of them have problems.
2.)Nikon D5000 -> 1.245$ with Kit lens 18-55 VR. There are some problems with it do its off the market for now but in a 20 days they should have new ones.
3.)Canon Eos 450D ->1.000 $ mabye less around 950$.. again with kit lens 18-55 IS.
4.)Nikon D90 -> little too expensive for me right now...1560$ with 18-55 VR so i guess this one is out unless i decide to save extra money but dont think so.
Other thing that would be nice if i decide to egt Canon is that friend have Canon system so i could borrow few things from him until i get my own...if i decide for Nikon that wont be possible.....and if i choose 450d I can afford tripod with it so its nice combination too...
Would like to hear what all of you people think about that....
Thank you!
