uhh it is not out yet . i know that much :D

Linux has some powerful competition. Leading the pack is Symbian, an operating system backed by most of the major phone makers and already in at least one phone on the market. Microsoft has won a few converts for its Windows Powered Smartphone and Pocket PC Phone Edition operating systems. PalmSource's operating system is also grabbing some customers as well.

They are learning at least !

SAN FRANCISCO--Telecommunications company Verizon Communications saved $6 million in equipment costs by moving its programmers to Linux computers, the company said Wednesday.
The company cut costs by replacing programmers' Unix and Windows workstations with Linux systems that run OpenOffice instead of Microsoft Office, said George Hughes, a Verizon executive overseeing the work. The average desktop cost dropped from $20,000 to $3,000 per developer, he said in a talk at the LinuxWorld Conference and Expo.

Great, can't wait to see how it works.


The A760 combines basic mobile features with the capabilities of a PDA, digital camera, video player, MP3 player, speakerphone, mobile internet device, and Bluetooth unit. The A760 has a high-resolution, color LCD - touch screen, of course.
