Linux users have been salivating over Trolltech's promised Greenphone for the better part of a year. The "open" Linux phone platform, powered by Trolltech's Qtopia 4 embedded software stack, is bundled with a Qtopia software development kit (SDK) designed to kick-start mobile Linux application development. The first batch of devices has now shipped, and I spent a couple of weeks with a review unit. While it's an interesting package, it's only a first step and in no way a finished product.

The question about a *really* hackable phone is: Will the carriers allow such a thing to connect?
No, they won't. They won't cede control over their network to interlopers. And why should they? They own the network, they made the investment in building it, and they alone have the right to decide what kind of traffic flows across it.
