Ubuntu Phone will include a Terminal application

If a keyboard is important to you, the Droid 4 actually has a great one. Using it with the Terminal android app is a breeze.

However, the rest of the phone sucks, so I can't recommend it.

Honestly, I prefer my Droid 4 keyboard to the vast majority of laptop keyboards. I can't begin to describe how convenient it is to have an SSH client with a genuinely good keyboard right in my pocket at all times.

Yeah, the MBP keyboard is not really a fair comparison, but I definitely think the little D4 keyboard is far superior to most PC laptop keyboards, especially the compact ones.

Haven't tried the Droid 4, but the Droid 3 is fine, and the keyboard perfectly serviceable in a pinch.

Note that, for terminals, it benefits hugely from knowledge of escape sequences.
