"The T-Mobile G1 Google smartphone, designed by Google and made by HTC, remains firmly in the shadow of the iPhone-for now. The phone, which goes on sale next week in the US and next month in Britain, was released too early. The HTC hardware and Android OS that powers it lack the polish and depth of even the iPhone 1.0 in most respects. It's not a bad phone, but the software and hardware needed more time in the oven to bring them to a golden brown crispness." Full review at Arstechnica.

If that's the case, why do people bother using Firefox or Open Office? "
Free and Not tied to Microsoft immediately comes to the front. Once used, they show their depth. Firefox and OpenOffice.org are heavily invested by former Netscape/AOL/IBM/Novell/RedHat/, now Google, etc., and SUN is intimately tied with OpenOffice.org.
So far I'm not seeing a start to finish Open Source example that comes from some dude's garage and now setting the world on fire.
