Yeah, Nokia spoiled me. A flagship-quality device that runs my favorite Linux terminal software out of the box, that lets me use persistent storage the way it was meant to be used, that doesn't try to pin me down as no more than a captive consumer and purchaser of the goods offered by their closed ecosystem.

And yeah, I know, the modern mobile device is designed specifically for the person who is willing to do no more than spend all their time sitting on their couch, purchasing music, videos, and games. We all now live in Steve Jobs' world; creating your own content is passé.

But man, let a guy dream a little.
