It is interesting to see how the big companies are reluctant to allow people to innovate and experiment. The motorolafans.com site looks really good! Shaheer, thanks for sharing your experience.

It was interesting to note that there was already a community that was making 3rd party custom apps - in spite of the fact that Motorola hadn't opened up the development kit for the phone (people got other ways to make apps and execute them). Linux has ALOT (yes, ALOT!!) of potential. I've managed to run Doom/Duke Nukem 3d (yes, the 3d games) on the screen, without a keyboard. It was definitely a good phone. it's successor, Rokr e8 is out now.. and I think you can do pretty much the same.
