I find with all these builds so far.

Keep your Notebook etc handy running a ssh session into the Neo.
The power problem has been addressed in the build after the 18th, I
think it is in the 20th build, then the keyboard will also make sense,
so far the build that gave me the most joy has been the 18th, the one of
the 20th breaks the gsm modem, try as I like I could not get it to
connect to the gsm network. I will be testing the 21st build today.

Nice features from the 20th build is the screen orientation.
