If you do get an iphone tho, make sure the one you get is jailbreakable. That's the only downside to having an iphone. You need to get familiar with the jailbreak, and make sure you dont update firmware when a new one comes out.
Once out of jail, it's a wonderful device! I'm not an Apple Fanboy, and the iPhone is the only apple product I own, but it's a really nice device! I'm sure you will like it, specially with your command line skills!
Here is the final product of my script, tell me if I done things right, it now checks for existing directories, and it fixed the problem I had, where even if a file was a link, it was getting removed and recreated.
Thank you very much for all your help, you have been most helpful!
PS: If you would like to see the theme I built for the iPhone, go to iMatte | Imatte, Theme, Cydia, Iphone, Complete. You will find many screenshots, video, etc about it! It just went live 2 weeks ago! There is lots of work involved in it! Might even tip in the balance even more for you to get an iphone

Is it possibe to use sed for the following? I would like to truncate the output of a directory path if it's over 3 directory levels deep. For example:
