It is SO tempting to get a pre, and even better that the webos that it runs on is using the linux kernel! But I need to know.... can you access a terminal?

I have still not been able to get my hands onto one to play around with because I like GSM phones (Sticking with my Nokia E70 for now) but just my guess there probably is one but you can't access it as it will be locked away in the deep dark depths of the device. But, for the first person that finds it I can't wait to see cool things start to happen. OpenBox on the Pre anybody? :popcorn:

That's kind of cool.
Why would you need terminal access on a Pre though?

I had not the slightest idea what a pre was until I read the second post.
But, really, why would you need a terminal on a phone anyway?
