I don't see a use of Linux on a phone

Phone manufacturer aren't interested in Linux to give a fun toy to geeks, but for the same reason Linux is seeing success in the embedded world: High-quality networking stack, good performance, access to source code, no royalty, customizable, and many applications available compared to other embedded OS.
