I've yet to see the G1 handset, but the impression of it I get from various press reviews is just about summed up in this conclusion by Stuart Miles (who, btw, while being able to turn a phrase, has yet to master the vagaries of English spelling):

"[...] This is one of those classic cases of the operating system having so much potential, but it's not going to be a success from day one. Our suggestion wait 6 months to a year and by then you'll have so many handset choices (perhaps even the Touch HD) that will offer a far better, sexier, more consumer focused offering that this will look old news and. Well, rather crap.
A great OS let down by a shoddy handset design."
