Trolltech's Greenphones

Has anyone seen one of these? Wouldn't it be cool to have a linux phone that interfaces with linux software, like linux mail systems.

The cost seems very reasonable for a touchscreen. I paid more for my Sony-Erickson P800.

I've got an orange SPV M600. It runs windows mobile 5, pretty decent but windows mobile is kinda junk (not trolling, just my opinion). I also can't sync it unless in windows xp which is rubbish (although typing this i'm wondering if it's possible to mount it... google here i come).

I'd love a linux phone (even a green one), the possibilities would be endless. Saw it on slashdot, looked quite decent too.

Well, my P800 runs symbian, which I really like. But it's about 4 years old now.

The big thing about my Symbian is that I can transfer to outlook. This is one of my biggest barriors to moving completely to Linux.

But that would change if my phone was linux and programmed to work the same way to a linux mail and contacts software system.
