I'm using the Elite X3 in a small business environment for about two months. It is, effectively, a 3-in-1 device. With Continuum I'm able to perform at the desk many "go to phone" tasks, like messaging. I feel it's a huge productivity boost. Also, a small business can easily setup a Remote Desktop Host Server (as my business does), use the phone as a thin client, and have all the full-featured programs and services at the desktop (without relying on the expensive HP services). All the jabber about paucity of apps and "ecosystem" sounds to me a lot like what we used to call "vendor lock-in". I get all the services I need through the Edge browser, and most of the "apps" are just wrappers around a website, anyway.
