[benjat]

one thing interest me.. if this phone can use linux, and the phone is build in with wlan.. well.. so there's a wlan driver/module can be take from it, to develope e680i with wlan.. err.. can it?

[sylvain]

I think it will be my next phone...depending of the price

[craigwatson]

w00t... it looks as good as the imcosys smartphone... let's juste hope the price is as low And that they distribute the source...

[ycyas]

that phone is not out yet, also is only a reference design -that could be designed a bit otherwise(depends on the phone producer)..


here a ARM926EJ-S CPU Core (AP Processor) and its graphic controller that can have max. a 1024x768res screen with 24Bit colors = a smal real mobile computer.
supports Linux, Windows mobile and symbian.
