This is the best resource for open source converted handhelds.

Do you mean is it running on them when you buy them or is it possible to run linux on them by installing it yourself?

I am a caveman. Have no need of mobile phones. But, there is a showcase here:

All of those phones are Linux powered.

Dear Isprins,

I had the same problem. I have now HTC Touch (of Elf from manufacture naming) and I also would prefer to have linux in it. I was looking for a long time and it seems that linux is (in most cases) very basic and not developed system if we're talking about mobile phones. I had seen some screenshoots and dos3.11like screen doesn't look good

For some reason Synce (which is created to connect windows powered pda's with linux) doesn't want to work and I can't synchronise my pda with my kubuntu > , but when I asked them for opinion - they almost ate me alive having this idea and asking this question

If there is any developed linux for mobiles - please do let me know.

Birkopf: Just found this post on kubuntu forums. Helped me with ICS on kubuntu, and sync should be no problem either.
