Motorola is shipping the first model in its Scpl ("scalpel") line of Linux-based phones set to replace the ubiquitous Razr. The Motofone F3, available today in India, is an extremely low-end phone featuring an "electronic paper" display, breakthrough battery life, and usability features for the illiterate. Additionally, Linux may have taken another step toward mobile ubiquity with a new initiative from Trolltech called Greensuite.

Yes I agree with all that.
And it also runs Linux as Pro. What else could I ask? Maybe to ditch the mp3 ringtones and downloads? Finnaly, a cell phone brand with guts to put something like that on the market.
When my 3 year old Siemens goes dead, I'll buy that one (unless something better is available, which is unprobable...)
:D
