Thanks for the 'vi' guide, briand. I made the incorrect assumption that using vi was straightforward for most people.

Mine is The Slab, for somewhat obvious reasons.

As of a few weeks ago:
If anyone else is a Dan Simmons fan, perhaps you might recognize "Lady Silence" from his latest novel, The Terror. Lady Silence is an esquimaux woman who is silent, as she had her tonque bitten out by the Tuunbaq, but remains incredibly powerful and revered in esquimaux lore.
"Silent, small, and powerful" seemed appropriate for a WiMAX-enabled N810.

DrTheopolis because that's immediately what he reminded me of. Not only does that make my N810 smarter than me (he is a doctor, after all) but that make me Twiki since I carry DrTheopolis around with me everywhere I go. Obviously this naming convention leaves MUCH to be desired.
I used to have a CzarX naming convention under which the phone was CzarMobile the NIT was CzarTablet etc. however while functional it just seemed ... lacking.
Me and my N810.

I agree, and would personally use 'vi' as well... but if the user isn't familiar with 'vi' it's like handing the keys to a log chipper to a 5-year old and telling them to figure it out -- they might get the job done, or they might feed their arm into the chipper (or, perhaps, both).
once in the vi editor:
the 'j' key will move the cursor down a line; the 'k' key will move the cursor up a line.
the 'h' key will move the cursor left one character; the 'l' key will move the cursor right one character.
using the 'j','k','h', and 'l' keys, move the cursor to the first letter of the current hostname in that file.
hit the letter 'i' to put vi into "insert mode".
type in the new name (the old name will still be there). when you've finished typing in the new name, hit the <Esc> key to exit "insert mode".
move the cursor to the first letter of the old hostname (after you've hit <Esc> to exit "insert mode", you'll probably only need to hit the 'l' key one time to be in the proper position).
Once you're positioned on the first character of the old hostname, hit the capital letter 'D', and it will delete to the end of the line (thus erasing the old hostname).
Hit the ':' key (not semi-colon, colon!) to put vi into "command mode", and then type 'wq' and hit <Enter>. vi will "write" the changes you've made to the file, and "quit" back to the command prompt.
