Nice sci fi story. I like the parts above the best.
Everyone knows iPhone people are never impressed with other phones.

Man it just sounds like you now start work as soon as you wake up!
Give it 3 months and your employers will be taking it for granted

So how's the keyboard for this kind of usage? I mean pipe symbol, esc key (e.g. vim), curly & square braces etcetera...
I'm assuming this is all a bit too awkward for casual use, right? emergencies only?

3: It lacks phone functionalities, which normal users look for now a days. So Nokia failed at that aspect, it's just a better N810
4: No Navigator and stand-alone number keys which makes the physical full QWERTY keyboard less usable.
5: Reduced screen size comparing with N810 and the battery is a lot bit too small for this kind device.
6: Lack of Capacitive screen + with multitouch (it's a step back in technology, at least to the normal users)
Over-all, the device is a powerful machine, but it just doesn't bring it to todays expectations. The freedom + power isn't enough to sell to those people who expect more phone-power (yes, I know, phone second, etc, etc....still disappointing for most people looking for an all-in-one device)
I'd only recommend it to techies.

But most users don't lead a life like you, so all those features are irrelevant to them. There's too much missing on this phone. It needs to adopt the regular day-to-day features.
Great story. Really nice to hear how you can really push this device.

Well I've NEVER listened to music heavily on phones, or given a **** about pictures and facebook and all that crap.
I call that stuff "Sheepware", stuff that everyone does which to me is a waste of time. If a phone can't vpn, ssh, telnet, ping, df, ls, vi, |, <, >, then I don't want it.
Which means I've never wanted a phone until now.

If you are a geek: there is no better phone. I showed mine last night to a friend who runs a software company. He went straight to the command line, typed 'vi', and then offered me £600 for my phone :-)
I don't know vi - but I still love it.
@OP: Thanks for reminding me what its like to be an admin again instead of a code jockey. I need to get back to it.
