I don't think the G1 is completely extinct. My friend is a rebel G1 user and he tells me all the time that there is a band of G1 lovers converting and adapting the new firmware updates and general updates to the G1. so all is not lost.
This site reminds me on a daily basis that my G1, My favorite phone and friend is now totally obsolete. FML.
This thing looks great, The whole reason I hated the MyTouch 3G was I like having a full keyboard.
