Then I installed the SSH daemon and client, and connected to my N900 from my laptop through wifi. I used apt-get to install a few CLI apps, like bash 3 and midnight commander.

Although I've owned the N900 for half a year now, I am absolutely,p completely sold on it again. Whatever phone will replace it will have to offer similar freedom.

I am NEVER going back to Symbian, with its stupid signed apps and clunky ancient UI. I am not going to iOS either, because I hate the way Apple controls everything unless you jailbreak their iGadgets. There are two options for the future. Meego or Android...
Right on bro! I've own the so called "Flag Ship Phone," the "N97." Crap garbage! If that OS or "Symbian" is any indication of what the future will hold..., I'll pass! "Meego" looks interesting and "Android" is a OS that finally "Honors" the brand or term "Smart Phone!"
