I've got a mate with a laptop running Win XP Pro. I bought a magazine (LinuxFormat) with a free DVD, and gave the mag' to him while I went and loaded gNewSense for the first time. Some days later I saw him again, and the first thing he said to me was "I've got Linux in my pocket!" To which I of course replied "and I thought you were pleased to see me?" Alt Smile

Well there are some phones which run GNU/Linux officially such as Nokia N70 (I think it is N70), Motorola Ming and the upcoming, but not yet mainstream ready Neo1973 of the OpenMoko project (OpenMoko is a mobile GNU/Linux distribution).

There are probably more of the GNU/Linux native phones though (and more and more of them). Good sites to check out for the info regarding them is LinuxDevices.com and our own but though still young MobiLiberty.com. Smiling
