<p>I would be catious, most of there boot loaders on ARM devices are painful, but Android might be something u might want to look at as its linux+arm+designed for phones, but otherwise there are a lot of distros that support arm</p>

Hi all<br>
<br>
I am awaiting delivery of a mobile phone - a F003 Chinese Iphone knock off.<br>
I am rather intrigued with these phones and woul like to unlock their<br>
potential and that of course means getting Linux to run on them.<br>
<br>
I have only used Ubuntu so I am by no leans a Linux expert. I know that<br>
these phones run on a 200 mhz ARM-9 compatible processor and I believe<br>
Lemonix can run on ARM processors.<br>
<br>
Has anyone here ported a version of Linux to such a phone and any thoughts<br>
on how difficult or otherwise it might be to do so?<br>
<br>
The phone in question is here<br>

<br>
It seems to me that with Linux running the phone could do some cool things<br>
eg run Skype. A linux blingphone!<br>
<br>
Thanks Peter<br>
