...does it come with xterm built in?


Frankly any operating system that you have to install a 3rd party task killer program just to make the thing work is an epic fail.
I have the Galaxy S with Android 2.2.1, I don't need to use a task killer, The phone runs smooth as butter, and there is an xterm downloadable for FREE from the market. You can gain root access after rooting your phone, and you can recompile the kernel from source just as you can with N900.

Only true downgrades I feel from moving from N900 to galaxy S are :
  1. Can't use mypaint. (was just a hobby so not a big problem)
  2. No FM Transmitter, I solved my problem by buying a bluetooth enabled car radio, sounds better then FM anyway.
  3. No HW Keyboard, That one I can't solve.
  4. There is no real multitasking, you are Dependant on developers of app, if they thought your app should run in the background, they need to implement a service that does the job, while the UI is allowed to be closed by the OS / User.

But the list of improvement is endless.
