Just caught a whiff of this phone off someone on Twitter, after checking out some vids and their website, I don't know what else to say...I definitely want to try out this phone, it's looking quite snappy. The Linux OS is known for it's flexibility in the PC world although I'm not too familiar with it's functionality within mobile phones. Nevertheless, I wan to try this out.

What do you think about it?
Anyone know anything about Linux on mobile devices? Can it work?

Any extra info for this thread would be awesome too!
I want to know more about this device.

That's a great vid, good post. I hope to see more vids of the phone actually in use. I really like the simplicity of the menus too. Should be good.

Linux can work on a mobile device. Android runs the Linux kernel, and does so very well.
