Motorola+Qtopia=Linux Smart Phone

lems1 writes "Start compiling the excuses you will tell your boss to upgrade your cell phone now. Motorola has opted to use Trolltech's Qtopia to power up the next generation of SmartPhones. Get the scoop/specs from here and a nice high-res picture from this other link. The phone will have 'digital camera, video player, MP3 player, speakerphone, advanced messaging, instant Internet access and Bluetooth wireless technology' capabilities. On top of being Linux-based of course." Update: 11/12 00:44 GMT by T : Yep, this is the same phone mentioned a few weeks ago.

Not for me

The idea of a Linux-based phone is nice, but Qtopia just isn't a very good environment. It was far too clumsy and 'desktop'-like on the Zaurus, and will likely be even worse on such a cramped device as a telephone.
