If you're so down on Microsoft, why buy a PocketPC and try to run Linux on it rather than just buying a
Linux phone ?

Even if it did run on the 6700 I don't think they would have working BlueTooth, WIFI or even PHONE for that matter, let alone EVDO.
Most linux mobile ports have a hard enough time getting the screen and keyboard to work.
If you want linux on a PDA, get a PDA that was designed for it.

sorry to say... with the level of questions he asks, and the posts where he has claimed some difficult mods, i have a hard time believing him. so i vote troll.
