Motorola PDA E680 LINUX PHONE


Heya all guys!

Wanted to know if anyone else here has tried a cell phone that runs on Linux OS, and also in particular if anyone else, besides me, has tried this new Motorola phone that runs on Linux.
If you have a different phone that also runs on Linux tell what which one and what you think of it thus far.

In my opinion, having had this phone for 1 day now... I'm really liking it!!! it runs very smoothly, has great 3D graphics, even comes with Stereo surround sound, yeah a phone right!, and of course the OS is super fast! it's Linux!, hehehe

Well, let all of us know if some more!! Thanks!

How have you found the e680? I have been looking at the e680i but the one thing that bothers me is that I haven't found anyone who has managed to customise it in any way beyond what Motorola will permit ie themes etc. The biggest drawback with the phone as I see it is the lack of a document editor. You can view word excel etc. but not edit. Therefore, what I would like to do is install an editor like MiniWord, TextMaker or something.
