Its the only smart phone that can guarantee the radio is off when you put it in airplane mode.
Was just about to recommend looking into grin [1] before I realized who you were.

to the people writing off the keyboard, i don't think you know what you're talking about. it takes maybe a day to get used to this layout, and ortholinear is much more logical and comfortable than what most people are used to.
the people complaining about the space bar are the most confused. wide space bars ourr a waste of space. you don't touch the whole thing anyway.
some people have commented on shortcuts being in the wrong place, but this is also flawed thinking. for copycut and paste you can use your right thumb to press the modifier key or control.
i just hope this is not too big to use with just two thumbs. my dream device is some keyboard wider than a blackberry style one. i miss my sidekick.
i've been using it recently on a backpacking trip as my primary map source and for listening to music, and in five days the battery is above eighty percent still. the only reasons i haven't upgraded is that it still works great and there are no jailbreak options yet for the newer models. it is not my daily driver, but i would leave lcd screens or o l e d screens behind in an instant if apple or google made a paper display device. with jailbreak on mine i feel relatively safe it is not sending any data i don't approve, but because the jailbreaking is a volunteer effort, updates come out too infrequently for me to use as a daily driver.
I tested the color screv version (the CC) which was magical but it lakced the contrast of regular epaper. There are improvements in the color epaper i've heard.
