I second Gary's comments. I'm still on my old HTC Desire. It is getting a bit long in the tooth now, and I'm running a custom ROM on it to get the latest updates (cyanogenMod), but as a day to day work horse, it still fits the bill. Nicely surprised at the lifetime I'm getting out of it

| I would be interested to hear people's comments on this.
| 
| For my 2 penneth,
| 
| I love my Samsung Galaxy S2. I think you have to go Android.
| 
| I have a couple of VPN clients on mine although I haven't got them
| working
| perfectly with my firewall
| 
| I have a AndroidVNC viewer installed on it so I can access all of my
| users
| Windows clients as well as X on by servers.
| 
| I have a 'ConnectBot' which is a very nice ssh/telnet client.
| I hav andFTP which is a ftp/sftp/scp/ftps client
| 
| All of these apps are available to any android phone, but on top of
| that, this
| is a very nice phone.
