Linux Cellphone Needs
Why isn’t there a good cell phone on the market that is 3G? Can someone please post if there is a solution to this:
- 3G (HDSPA/ITMS/3G)
- 1-2 Megapixel Camera
- GSM Quad Band
- Big screen
- Memory Stick
- Uses public standards for data
- Keyboards
- Runs on linux!
I hopeful that the guys Kees and I met at Linuxworld who do phone hacking might be able to help.
The only one I know is motorola 1200 (and friends)
there is also people studing his ezx system

Point 5 seems to contradict point 6.

Yes, this is somewhat true…I guess I should redefine that it uses public standards for data file formats.

Memory stick is sony/sonyericsson-only format, unless they start selling linuxphones you are permanently out of luck. If you skip the stick requirement, your best hope is working with the xanadux project.
