It is slick but it isn't really Linux without glibc etc. The palm pre looks more linux like as does the pending Nokia N900. I miss some of my linux applications - busy box, fbreader, evince but I have to admit google is doing a good job. I picked up the HTC Sapphire/Magic from Rogers.

Never heard of that one before. It does work just fine with linux as far as accessing the sd card and charging the phone. And that's about all you can do with any computer. There's no backup, because there's no backup, period. The phone syncs everything over the air. It lives in the cloud. Well... except that it would be nice to be able to back up some program data. I wiped my phone yesterday and now my saved games are gone in Abduction! World Attack. Bummer. Then again, I wiped my phone, and chances are you'll do that just about never.

Fantastic is when it just works and I don't have to look up their phone or even call them. @Nick, we didn’t speak to the same HTC.

Really don't feel like paying for something that'll need tinkering with to work. Crap, and I was hoping that at least the android phones would have a degree of linux compatibility.
