I have MT on my G1 and the truth is that I hardly ever use it. Unlike iPhone that requires zoom in in order to being able to press on small links and opens the page all zoomed out, the G1 has a trackball that is much more superior that finger press for links and is zooming-in auto to a readable size. Not saying the "pinch to zoom" is not cool or useful when you do need to zoom, it's just not necessary as it is on the iphone.
