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.

Open Handset Alliance: This is the same as the HTC Dream. However, it's definitely worth getting this one over the HTC because it'll be cheaper. It's a little known fact that re-branded HTC's like the O2 (in the UK) are cheaper then their "original" counterparts. Only possible issue might be that if something goes wrong with it, HTC (although the manufacturer) won't fix it. So you'll have to take it to your service provider and they will probably send it to their supplier (T-Mobile) who will then in turn send it to HTC.......A process you could avoid by getting the "original".
It's all too confusing.
I'm not sure about this third party application. Hopefully Google will develop their own versions of Office, pdf viewers/editors, etc.
A fan of the Open Source projects through and through..
Thanks for a great site gsm arena.

All of u complaining about battery life of android phones, go to market and install APNdroid. It will enable you switch off internet access when not in use. This will greatly boost ur battery life. I used to have less than 24 hrs with my G1 before. Now it can last up to 3days with APNdroid off. I only switch it on whenever l wanna browse the net.
