The Nikon D5000 is roughly equivalent to the 550d. The Canon has a higher megapixel rating, but most other specs are pretty similar. The D5000 has now been superceded by new models: the D3100 and D7000.

Reams and reams have been written on the Canon vs. Nikon debate, and I'm not about to add to that (other than to say, GO NIKON!); try visiting DPReview.com for in-depth, impartial reviews.

I would say a rough equivalent would be the D3100 or the D5000, they are around the same price point and have similar features.
