Hi friends
I recently bought a 2nd hand example of the G1 via e.bay. The previous owner had uprated. The O.S. to Android 2.1. This worked but slowed the phone down. It eventually went. Into a reboot loop which rendered the handset useless. I did a Factory reset wiped out the dialler! Eventually I had it reflashed to Android.1 updated now to 1.6. By and large, I am quite impressed with what is now rather an old phone. My other phone is the Nokia N900 and I find it in many ways quite similar to the G1
My criticisms of the phone are the usual ones - battery life and lack of phone memory. It could also do with some more ram! However, if you are looking for a good phone with a physical keyboard, that can handle lots of applications, then the G1 could be the one for you. Currently, you can get used ones for £100-150.
Good luck

The phone is amazing, it is like a mini computer!!! G1 is probably the best phone for very low price. When you "jailbreak" it.. this phone is unstoppable. ;)

The best handset I've ever had. Definitely. Specs are not so awesome, but I have a minicomputer at hand.

Considering the fact that G1 is the first android phone ever built, i believe that you guys have mistreated the G1.
You should first root your device and change your ROM if you are having problems. Android does not kill apps so use taskiller or other app killers to free up your memory. I have Cynanogen 6 (Android 2.2) Running silk smooth on my G1 with Sygic Mobile Maps and lots n lots of amazing apps and games. I am keeping my G1 till the day it dies on me. And it's been 2 years now, and it survived and still runs like new.

I've owned this device since release, It's been through a lot.
Battery life isn't very good, especially after so long. The vibrator rattles a bit now that the phone has loosened up over time, makes an annoying sound. Phone runs decently fast but if you opt to upgrade beyond Android 1.5 then things can get sluggish. The biggest flaw is lack of RAM and internal storage.
Overall the phone is durable and reliable but has many technical limitations. It has some flaws but it's understandable for the first Android phone ever! I'd recommend this phone to the technically inclined: it's the best phone to mess around with, hands down. For the average person I'd say find something a little newer.
