First smart phone was a iPhone 4 since there were no android devices for me to fondle in the store, and hte iPhone was hte best at being "just a phone".
Apple has officially made me mad too many times now, so I'm thinking it is time for a new phone and it should probably be Android based since...
Or for that matter, the X11 server and a SSH client on Android.
Personally I'm missing all of my gnu utils, so I'm contemplating rebuilding the entire userland into either a LFS or Debian system. Did LFS a long while ago so the only downside is going to be the time consuming process and I'll...

the bs just determines how big of a chunk is read/written at one time... so it shouldn't matter. Only time I've used it is in stripping boot loaders off the master boot record. First 512 bits are the magic, so bs=512 count=1
I've been resisting a smart phone for a LONG time. I've had tablets - Nokia 770, 800, now a Nook Color w/ CM7, etc. but I've never wanted a phone to be much more than a phone.
So... up in the air .. iphone 3gs vs htc aria.
Thoughts?
Thanks
Get a 2gb sd card and put all the stuff on it needed for rooting, along with a nice set of printed directions and include that. Leave the stock firmware stock and un-registered, etc. so the buyer has the choice of using as-is or rooting
