I am very interested in Android platforms, but this article has enough
marketing buzzwords to put you off your lunch.

I'd be interested if anyone on this list was willing to share their
personal experience with the G1. 

I decided to not buy the G1 because AFAICT it lacks a few features
which I consider critical.

1) No support for WPA-EAP (i.e., can't use it with UAWifi)
2) T-Mobile has no G3 coverage in Tucson.
3) No stereo audio bluetooth support.

..definitely not worth $180 + plus a 2-year contract, IMO.
