As an aside, you could actually run emacs natively on the g1. I've
followed the instructions from Jay Freeman (http://www.saurik.com/id/10,
seems to be down though, try using the Google cache) for installing
Debian on the g1 (on your SD card -- I recommend getting an 8GB
card). After you've installed Debian you run openssh and connect to
localhost using ConnectBot.
Even better, you could install xorg and run emacs using AndroidVNC in X,
although I've found this to be much slower. Although, "theoretically"
you could use a browser such as Conkeror in X to follow http links,
although this is extremely slow for me. You're better off with w3m-el,
until newer hardware comes out. Also note that the keyboard under
AndroidVNC is not as nice as ConnectBot's layout.

I also recommend Android.

With my solution, you don't need to drop all of that money on an
internet plan, but you would need to sync your org files. For using the
g1 without a plan, just buy a prepaid SIM card and connect using adb
shell when registering the phone and execute:
am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.Settings
to bring up the Wifi settings and register without buying a dataplan. I
spend about $10 a month prepaid and use Skype for everything else.
