soon
,----[ Quote ]
| Alright, I’ll admit, I’ve never heard of this company, they also go by WNC,
| and they had a Linux phone that I was really impressed with. First, it has
| Linux, version 2.6, which means its open, then it has WiFi, a touch-screen,
| Bluetooth, a 2MP camera (which is the only mediocre thing about this phone),
| and so much more.
