Now I wish I had my G1 back!
on the G1 you need to repartition the flash size, there's not enough room for 2.2 on a stock G1. The ROM I'm running now is the same one they use on the other phones. There are custom G1 roms tho, but I haven't tried any others yet.

honestly I'm not sure. Ability to install custom roms is one. Backup/restore rom images. Take off the carrier custom OS and use the generic OS.
