Android is Linux. If you want an Android phone, why not get one?

Hi -

1. The LG KP500 ("Cookie") has a closed operating system (which happens to be based on Windows CE).
In theory, I imagine you might be able to hack it and install Android.
In practice, I'm not sure it's feasible.
Look here:

2. Android *is* Linux.
I, too, would suggest just getting an Android phone.

xdevil361, Welcome to LQ

You are very new here so take this as a friendly suggestion, not official moderation.

Take the time to spell the name of the item you're asking about correctly, including the capitalization. In this case it's an "LG KP500" not an "lg kp500". I would have recognized the brand name "LG" immediately, "lg" took a little longer.

It's very considerate to provide a link to what you're asking about -- you would only have to do any search once, whereas each reader would need to repeat your work.

TIA

Sometimes what may not work?
I hope this isn't a nonsense post :)
