This is a new phone from Nokia. It is based on the Linux Maemo platform<br>which so far has been for internet tablets, not phones.<br><div class="gmail_quote"><br><a href="http://www.mobile-review.com/review/nokia-rx51-n900-en.shtml" target="_blank">http://www.mobile-review.com/review/nokia-rx51-n900-en.shtml</a><br>
<br>The user interface looks good. Very iPhone like, but with a keyboard.<br><br>Runs Linux of course, and updateable via APT.<br><br>How comprehensive will the repository be though?<br><br>The slashdot thread says that one can write applications in Python for<br>
this phone, and there is no lockage of any sort (the Apple sort or the <br>Google sort)<br><br>
They even have a Linux flasher for the past Maemos here<br>
