Lol, spend a big chunk of a day looking for a Linux based cell in India.. ended up with an Intel Xscale based Motorola A1200... runs a mv 2.4 kernel.. the kernel is posted here: https://opensource.motorola.com/sf/frs/do/viewSummary/projects.a1200/frs
The fun part - i tried joining the sourceforge like project, heh heh, no thanks came the reply :)

Wish mot had put up a 2.6 based kernel at least.. :(.. and worst, no tools at to compile, hack arnd with the phone.. :( mebbe i have'nt spend enough time screwing arnd with it.. it plays awesome real player movies, good audio (first time i saw a 5 pin headset :D).
