Google is setting itself up to play "Microsoft" to Apple's "Apple". In a replay of 1984, Apple has produced an exciting new product (the iPhone), and made it proprietary (no third party hardware, no open platform for developers, not open to multiple phone networks).
Google, is "pulling a Microsoft" by taking all that is good about the iPhone and making it open (any network, any hardware manufacturer, any phone network).
Has Apple learned nothing? I guess they only want 10% of the phone market, while Google and it's partners take the rest.

I agree that the look of the interface is sort of a letdown.
1 FaverViewed: 10 TimesQuoted: It feels smooth and fast, although the interface looks a bit dated and mixed. It kind of reminds me to a 1990s Windows desktop manager, specially next to the glossy, ultra-polished iPhone interface. However, there are certain aspects of it which are droolworthy, like the accelerometer-based Google Maps Streetview.
