• Gizmodo: The G1 phone and the Android operating system are not finished products..
• Engadget: The G1 isn’t going to blow anyone’s mind right out of the gate.
• Om Malik: Will I recommend this phone to anyone out there looking for a smart phone? The answer is yes, especially if you don’t much care for either Windows Mobile or Apple’s iPhone device..
• Mossberg: The G1 is a very good first effort, and a godsend for people who prefer physical keyboards or T-Mobile.
• L.A. Times: So far, I feel smart enough with what I have. But I did get my geek fix from the G1.
• CNET: It’s not quite there yet, so for now, the G1 is best suited for early adopters and gadget hounds, rather than consumers and business users.
Zeitgeist? The meh of the oppressed creature.

That sounds about right. The device wasn’t super impressive, but I’m sure it will evolve into something nicer in about a year. Based on the small number being manufactured, I’d say T-Mobile knows it too.
