A simple checkbox/radio button in the config should suffice: Geek Mode: On This could allow an extra prefs menu with hundreds of settings from showing the real boot screen to turning on debug for all apps (for example) of course, turning Geek Mode(TM) off would set everything back to be very, erm, 'consumer oriented'...

The pictures were very nice, however, they better have a pretty graphical boot screen for the final product. That boot-up screen would scare the average non-geek something fierce. I can just see it now, "Oh no! My phone is broke!" Maybe they could have a customization setting that would allow you to turn the geek boot screen on, but have it a pretty graphical one by default.

It's quite amazing how much text fits on that screen.
