Google and T-Mobile launched the first mobile phone running on the Android Operating system, T-Mobile G-1. The phone will soon be hitting the US shores but if you want to experience how it feels to use the Android based G1 phone then you should check out the Android Emulator. This cool website by T-Mobile lets you use the Android G-1 as if you are actually using the phone. This is a real nice way of getting consumers hooked to your product, if you like the phone on the emulator then there is a high probability that you will go and buy that phone. This section of the site by T-Mobile educates the prospective Android G-1 user on how to slide the keyboard, change batteries, insert SIM card and the SD memory card into the Android G-1 phone.
I used the Android G-1 Emulator for some time and found the phone to be good. The sideways slider has always been a turn-off for me. Here are some screenshots of the emulator.

Physically, the flip-out LCD feels solid and springy. Keyboard keys are small, spongy and a bit recessed, so it's hard to touch type right off by the feel of the keys. The touchscreen is better than we had hoped—far better than the HTC Touch's slow-to-respond screen. Scrolling is smooth at times, clunky at others, depending on the app. It's not multitouch, so it uses a "long press" UI element quite a bit—like to drag an app from the pop-out menu to the desktop—but since the touch is fairly responsive, it works pretty well.

Yeah you are right when you say that G1 is a good phone and its doing well in the market. I think the upgraded versions of this phone would be good in coming months.
