@linmob I went top-of-the-line and ended up ordering the A-06 with the 4G modem.
From the youtube reviews I saw on the clockworkpi DevTerm (a different device) it sounds like they addressed nearly all complaints that people had with that earlier device in the uConsole (i.e. sturdier construction, backlit keyboard, and shorter keys). So all told, I'm really looking forward to it.
@leimon Which one did you order?
