Take the T-Mobile G1 for a Virtual Test-Drive

The much-ballyhooed T-Mobile G1 isn't available for hands-on pawing yet, but you can still take the world's first "Android phone" for a virtual test-drive. T-Mobile's new browser-based G1 emulator lets you interact with the OS to get a feel for what using the phone will be like. You can't actually use most of the features (though Maps is pretty functional), but the emulator definitely gives you the flavor.

My two cents: Android doesn't match the effortless elegance of the iPhone OS, but it looks leaps and bounds ahead of Windows Mobile. What do you think? After using the emulator, are you any more likely to buy the G1? Vote in our recent poll, then hit the Comments to share your test-drive thoughts. [via Google Blogoscoped]
