Let's not kid ourselves.... as a handset? The G1 was NOT great. It was marginally good. It was sorely lacking in several features of the more high end phones (nokia N-series, sony ericssons, etc...). The camera sucked, the bluetooth implementation sucked, it didn't do video, there's still no skype client that uses WiFi properly, and all the apps are java-based (read: unholy slow). The google guys did a fantastic job with the core software, but the 1st-gen handset they chose to run it on was kind of a POS when compared to other similarly priced handsets (sim-unlocked of course).
The only draw was Android which by its nature will only improve. But the hardware.... MEHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Not to mention the piss poor support for 3G providers. It basically only works on T-mo's 3G network in the US, which is pretty much the laughing stock of the entire wireless industry right now. At LEAST work in an antenna that would work with AT&T's 3G network for pete's sake!
