[LUG] Desire-Z, anyone?

 


Anyone got a Desire-Z?

My N900 is a bit flakey now - display is wonky after I dropped it )-: and while I'll probably get it fixed, it's lacked one or 2 things that's now making me think of getting something else...

I basically need a screen+keyboard phone with ssh/putty - and the ability to ssh in to it (rsync, etc.) or run a local (x)term is a bonus. I'm not a great music fan, so storage isn't that important. SIP client is important though - as is the big thing that the n900 lacks - navigation & a compass..

The reviews of the Desire-Z seem to indicate that it's a bit wobbly due to the keyboard in/out mechanism, but that seems to be the only big issue with it...

So has anyone got one or can give any comments, or suggest an alternative?

(And it goes without saying that a Win phone is out of the question - as is another Nokia, not that they have anything sensible now)

Cheers,

Gordon
