I have been sporting an HTC Dream (aka T-mobile G1) for a week or so now. Overall, it is a pretty decent OS and a decent phone. I really like the hardware keyboard, because it is really easy to type stuff (like this blog post, for instance)
The G1 is locked down a bit by default, and that is annoying – but it was pretty easy to bypass that in the first release because of a pretty big bug that was left in place. A group of us have been hacking away at the phone ever since then, and having one of these early release phones that is hacked to keep root access will likely pay some pretty big dividends in the future.
One of the cooler aspects of Android is that the developers are really easy to get ahold of. A lot of them hang out on IRC and answer questions and give advice on how to develop for the platform… etc.
So far, one of the coolest programs is one that you can use to edit pictures on the phone (it is actually better than any program I have on my desktop machine for what it does)
