[TriLUG] FOSS/Linux phones

[Douglas A. Whitfield]

There are a few commercial Linux embedded phones, such as the RAZR V8, but I
can't seem to find any truly open smartphones.  I kinda want a smart phone
and I hate to support Apple, but I think supporting Darwin is probably
better than getting a Blackberry.  I know there is the OpenMoko project and
there are some other projects/devices that do handhelds that aren't phones.
I want a phone!  An iPod Touch isn't going to cut it.  So, I'm partially
asking if there is anything out there I could get.  Cost is not that big of
a concern, but obviously the smaller the better.  I'm interested in Google's
Android (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Android) but I'm not sure if I
should wait or not.  Thoughts?  Thanks!
