PDAs, Cellphones, Wireless "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.

That review wasn't all that great tbh. I wish it would have been more indepth.
I really hope the series will improve.

That also seems to be the general consensus on Ars - most of the comments on the article there are along the lines of "was this supposed to be a review of the G1, or an advertisement for the iPhone?"
