Like elephants dancing in tutus - a unix terminal on Symbian OS
While not as amazing as these 400 micron wide versions of the Angel of the North and the Tyne Bridge, here's a not very good picture of the unix Pine email client running on one of our unix servers on my Nokia cell phone.

This is possible thanks to PuTTY for Symbian OS, a port of the very useful PuTTY terminal program. I'm sure I don't want to spend a whole lot of time reading email this way, but it's impressive that it works!
Now I'll have to check out the predictive typing capability on the cell phone, because trying to enter any amount of text on a telephone keypad really sucks.
