It\'s ugly! The SL6000 (nearly equal in size) has far more capabilities (and I bet a nicer screen!) and looks far more beautiful...

handhelds.org has various hardware poking/reverse engineering tools that are useful in doing such a port. It\'s not a trivial job though.

It may not be pretty and I\'d also worry about such a large unprotected screen in my pocket, but it\'s the only 640x480 mobile device natively available in the UK.... Not that I\'m getting one. I don\'t like MS or Windows CE even if I had the money.
