As smartphone prices decline, they have become more popular every day. Symbian, PalmOS, Windows Mobile and Linux seem to be the big names in this high-end market of phones, all showcasing PDA-like features, native toolkits and fast processors. Today we are looking at one of the most popular Linux smartphones (especially in Asia), the Motorola E680i, which was released around May 2005 and was graciously provided by Geeks.com for this article.

Actually this kind of UI runs on about 4-5 Motorola phones so far. But as you said, yes, there isn't much software for it. In fact, there's fewer than 10 titles for it. This is one of the places Motorola should get their act together, as getting the native SDK for these phones (not for java games) is not easy.

I like this phone (well I have a gripe about its lack of quadband GSM but anyway) - the major question is "where is the software" ?
UIQ, PalmOS, WindowsMobile, Series 60 all have an established software library and the OSes run on many devices. With this OS running only on 2 devices - software is a bit scarce. What good is a smartphone w/o software ?
