I'm waiting for an upgrade for my G1, so far no viable option yet.

HTC WHERE ARE OUR SLIDEY ANDROIDS!!???

Google said Froyo won't be available for the G1 officially. This is due to insufficient ROM.

But then still we G1 users can get it. In fact, there already is a port available on XDA-DEVELOPERS but its buggy. Try it out if you dare.
