I don't know why people keep up this thread.
I'd guess it's because people are hoping that Google will realize that when then enter into a consumer business, they need to do things a little differently. Or perhaps they're just angry that they they spent a fair bit of dough on something that was promoted as a competitor to an iPhone or a Blackberry, and are now being told they are fools for expecting Google, a company that they trust, to live up to the marketing. Personally, I think consumer feedback is great. It means that they've engaged enough with your product to give a damn. I think it should be encouraged and channeled so that it's useful, not discouraged. Most people don't want to complain endlessly; they just want to feel that they've been heard. So for those complaining that the people complaining should do something, I'll point out that you can apply your own philosophy here. It sounds like there's a need for purchasers to express their feelings on Android and the G1 in ways that appear effective to them. That sounds like the basis for a fine web site. Or perhaps an account on something like GetSatisfaction.com. Then everybody would win.
