What are your personal experiences with a G1 Android?

it’s gonna be released here in holland (finally) and ofcourse you dudes from across the big sea have had quite some time to play with it, so what’s your opinion on it ? first i was thinking about going iphone, but the G1 sure caught my attention, it seems a bit different and that’s what i like about it.

the things i’m not intereseted in are stuff like the camera, audio/video playback, i have dedicated devices for that, i just want to know, how well does it work for you as a phone / communicator / webmobile device ?

thanks !
