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.

on a unrelated note, take a look at all posts made by "timeout"

http://www.pdaphonehome.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=67456

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.
