Get called at 5:30 AM this morning to fix a WebLogic problem we were having. So I answer my phone, tell the operators I'll take care of the issue and hang up.
Flip open the phone, click on my quick link to VPNC which I have loaded my .pcf file onto from my work laptop, and quickly connect to my works VPN.

Once there, I open up my terminal and ssh to the adminstrative AIX box where I have written some scripts to automate a lot of my Weblogic administration tasks.
I connect to the AIX box, fire off my script, watch as the problem resolves itself, and go back to bed for a bit.

The phone alarm kicks off at 7:20 AM. I get up, take a shower, head to work.
Sit down, link up my phone to the USB adapter connected to my laptop, and sync all my calendar information in Lotus Notes. Meanwhile I check my personal Gmail email, fire up the radio and listen to my morning radio show via headphones.

For fun, I connect my phone into work on the VPN again and open up VNC viewer to connect to my primary LDAP machine which runs on Linux, and I have KDE running on it. So I login to it with VNC Viewer on my phone and play around just because I can and show some friends at work.

Everyone, including the iphone people, are amazed.

I check my phone and see I have a brief meeting at 8:30 AM due to the beauty of the calendar entry being copied over from Lotus Notes to my phone.

My wife sends me a Google Talk IM to tell me good morning as she is off today.

This phone is UN-BELIEVABLE.

Iphone, eat your heart out.
Brilliant.

I wonder how your battery is doing though? .
Anyway battery replacement is only £8.99 @ amazon.co.uk so no biggie.
