Another Linux smartphone in the pipeline

FIC's Linux-based Smartphone - Gizmodo

FIC's taking more than just a page from the Linux community with its FIC-GTA001 smartphone—its taking their entire playbook. Hoping to capitalize on what is essentially free programmers for the project, FIC is releasing a Linux-based smartphone complete with an SDK (Software Development Kit). This allows end-users to develop their own programs and functionality for the phone (picture an army of geeks making sure you can play back DivX on your phone).

oooh. That looks very sweet.

No keyboard, though?

(though it might take a bluetooth or usb keyboard, though, I guess)

Bluetooth almost certainly. And it's a full-VGA touchscreen.

Only thing missing is WiFi.

So, when are you going to convert Starport to SmartPhones?

[mdlbear]

If it's just Asterisk and the existing hardwired phones, we can start almost immediately. If you mean these things, well, they're not out in quantity yet, and they're $350 each. Got cash?
