Hi,
I am looking to buy my first smartphone. I'll be honest -- I know little about smartphones at all. However, I am quite experienced with computers in general, and I'm looking for a smartphone that I can easily tinker with, tweak things under the hood, etc; I'm looking to learn a little about mobile computing, especially since it is now so prevalent. For example, I would enjoy testing out code that I could upload onto the mobile device to execute. Being able to communicate remotely and securely with a workstation would also be ideal.
Price and phone carrier is not an issue, the only restriction being that I live in the United States. I would prefer the best hardware quality possible. I do not care about "media" or consumer-oriented features such as photo/video capabilities or ways of sharing content on social sites.
Anyways, I'm pretty sure I'm looking for something awfully demanding, but I would greatly appreciate any suggestions you have to offer. Thanks!
