Yeah. I remember like sixteen years ago, I think it was a N900 phone? A friend had it and I used it to fix a bug in a php website we had in the university through ssh. It was beautifully hacky, the website had no version control. It was awesome. I think the server actually ran Solaris at the time. I’ve been chasing a device with that form factor since forever, but sort of building my own I feel I will never get one.
i had one of those! it was really awesome, and you could cross compile apps for it from a regular linux box. it was the only phone i've ever had where i wrote my own small apps just because i could.
