I also use an iclever folding BT keyboard mouse pad and again perfect. I suspect the device will last for many years with this type of usage.

What kind of battery life do you get with the modem off?

I just tested again today and I got 9 hours of average usage including wifi with 86% battery left. I'm guessing that 12 hours out of a charge should be no problem for PPP.
I'm using Arch Linux Phosh

Thanks.  Looks like the modem is a major consumer of energy on the ppp.
The modem is also a major source of heat and with modem disabled the PPP runs very cool. I think this will increase life of the device significantly. At present I am using the PPP as a major portable computer pocket device and it fits this role perfect.
