While I don't think the iphone is over-hyped I've started fantasizing about going back to a dumb phone. The LG enV 2 is still the best phone I ever owned.

  • replaceable battery that lasted 3 days
  • headphone jack
  • physical keyboard
  • fit in shirt pocket
  • no bloatware

If I still needed to SSH into servers on my phone I'd be all over that.

Yeah, it's really nice for working on a terminal. But it's nice for writing text as well.
