This thing is ugly :) 1.6 is already ancient, and it looks like it has
some sort of custom interface, so expect slow updates.

I tend to agree. I have a Google DevPhone 1 (it came unlocked, so it was handy to use in Japan) but Android 1.6 somehow forced me to move to an iPhone. Almost everything in the market place requires Android 2.0 (especially since the Droid in the US came along).
