Microsot just released a stand-alone emulator of Windows Mobile 5 (AKU2.0) with both PocketPC and Phone bootable images in it (screenshot). You will need the two files from here, plus this file (overall 59 MB). Elsewhere, Qtopia Phone Edition 4.1.1 is released as a bootable ISO for everyone to try out (only VoIP and video playback support is missing from that image, overall 119 MB).

I like Qtopia. Some points to make its UI better:
1. The fonts are not AA. All new phones from Nokia and SE now have AA fonts, even the non-smartphones. There is a selection of 4 AA fonts for Qtopia, but these are really ugly and don't scale.
2. Some of the dialogs were quickly ported from the QVGA PDA edition and they create long tabs that you have to horizontally scroll to.
3. Such lists are very bad UI-wise for a non-toucscreen UI: http://www.qtopia.net/images/screenshots/4/qtopia4-packagemanager.p...

Looks like several vendors delivers phones with Qtopia, mostly Asian vendors or phones targeted to the Asian market.
Like Wistron NeWeb Corporation and Accton Technology Corporation of Taiwan. http://linuxdevices.com/news/NS3547076080.html
China's government-owned TEM, http://linuxdevices.com/news/NS8901223473.html
Motorola use it in several of their Linux phones(all?) Like the E680, A910 etc. http://linuxdevices.com/news/NS6429395080.html

I got it loaded on my computer but I can't figure out how to get the device to use my internet connection. Anyone figured that out yet?
UPDATE: Nevermind, I figured it out. After setting up the network connection to the Internet, I had to do a soft reset of the device.

I have an Archos media player which runs Qtopia. My honest opinion of it is horrible. The fonts look jagged, the icons look odd and very green. Functionality is also pretty bad compared to Windows Mobile, e.g. Browsing the hard disk is extremely awkward. These issues maybe due to the Archos itself.
