Re: [LAU] OT: linux phone?

One that hasn't been mentioned so far, non-free firmware (I believe)
but making use of the armel debian repos: Titchy Mobile on the HTC
Universal. (Yep! Debian on a phone!)

   http://wiki.neilandtheresa.co.uk/Titchy_Mobile

which can make calls and send sms from the commandline, and receive
them via a whiptail dialog interface.

You can run X, and ppp over gprs/umts is also supported, according
the wiki

Wifi used to work, is now unstable, but will probably be fixed sometime.

Definitely an alpha environment, but fun! It's a sort of un-sponsored,
in-the-teeth-of-the-manufacturers effort. The handset is clunky and
unfashionably huge, but with a unique swivel-screen arrangement that
might tweak your tech-toy neurons :)

There are other linux images available for the Universal including qtopia,

but development has severely slowed there.
