Not many G1 owners on this site yet but check out the 164 comments and counting on CrackBerry.com! Pretty favorable overall, too! Here are a few excerpts (without attributes, sorry):

Nice phone, Nice review.

Google & HTC did a good job!

Wow, after this review I NEED this phone!

Honestly, the G1 is looking a heck of a lot sweeter than I thought.

That phone looks really cool.

This phone looks awesome.

Even though I am a Blackberry enthusiast, I must say, I have my eye on the G1.

I LOVE HTC product's just a little less than BB because they usually run WM, but this baby is one bada** piece of equipment!

That is actually a really cool phone. I love all it has to offer and its ease of use.

If Blackberry weren't around I would own this phone.

If I could get BB msgr on it I would get it today.

I am very impressed with this phone. Sadly, I'm with Verizon. If I had T-mobile I would ditch my blackberry and buy it in a heart beat. Very cool phone! :-)

Okay, not to be a traitor, but I really liked the G1. I loved the interface and the flexibility, and the combo touchscreen/trackball.

Kevin, I am sorry, I have sinned... I cracked... purchased a G1 online.

I really think the combination of a touchscreen, full qwerty, and the trackball provides all of the most efficient interface mechanisms.

It's like a Moped. We all want to ride one, but we don't want our friends to see us on it.

I always thought it was really ugly but in the video looks nicer. Also looks very snappy and responsive.

Very clean interface. I kinda like the no-frills hardware, too. Neat and clean all the way around.

The phone was really smooth and fun to work with.

Slick little phone, can't wait to read your final impressions.

I tried it out for a few days and thought it was pretty cool.

I'm very impressed with the Google OS. Great looking phone.

Android looks very promising and for a first phone that is very impressive.

No doubt about it - this OS will dominate the smartphone market in a year or two.
