First impression is really good.
It took all of 5 minutes to go from box to functioning phone. Once the SIM card was in, the phone took about a minute to load.
Android seems very quick and has a very shallow learning curve.
My only complaint so far is my too-big thumbs on the little keyboard. But I’m sure I’ll get used to it.

I’ve been back and forth from EDGE to 3G, and was easily able to set up my wifi at home.

We’ll see how it goes, but so far, gg G1, gg.

So Google has gone a different, albeit cool, way of unlocking your phone.  Rather than the standard 4-digit pin that most systems have, Google has designed a type of symbol recognition system that will let you draw on screen by playing connect the dots.

Now, if you only use 4 dots, the system is less secure than using a pin, but past 4 dots, it has the potential (depending on a few variables that my friends and I argued about [see below for transcript]) to be much more secure.  Of course, that is due the the increased amount of digits, or in this case gestures, rather than the system itself being more secure.
