HTC Dream / T-Mobile G1
The Good:
The G1 has an excellent physical keyboard and a unique sliding mechanism that allows for a much larger keyboard than most other sliders. Capacitive touch screen is very responsive. Uses a standard mini USB port to charge. MicroSD card allows for expandable memory. Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 3G & GPS capable. Runs Android!
The Bad:
No 3.5mm headphone jack, Android 1.6 is the highest supported firmware version, needs to be charged every day with moderate use
Other thoughts:
More recent versions of Android (up to 2.2 using Cyanogen at time of writing) can be used with the G1 if you're willing to put forth the time and effort to learn how to root your phone. Rooting also provides many other benefits, such as the ability to take screenshots, use your phone as a WiFi hotspot, use custom boot logos... Rooting gives you complete access to your phone, so the possibilities are endless.
The Bottom Line:
The HTC Dream / T-Mobile G1 is the best device I have owned thus far. It's a great smartphone and is far less expensive than some of the newer ones. It's specs are lacking in terms of RAM and CPU, but it's 3 years old, so I can't complain too much. In the future I plan on trying out the G2 (not released for another four days) or another higher end Android device. If you're thinking about getting an Android phone, but don't want to spend $200+ for a nice one, this would be a great starter phone.

It works!
This works well as a replacement for the dead motherboard in my Dell Inspiron 11 3000 Series 3148.
