Yep! But the next version of the phone hardware is supposed to be running Meego, and be a lot more user friendly. Us old guys without the Linux experience are kind of floundering with it, but can certainly see the potential of it. :)

Actually, there is one that hasn't been mentioned that Nokia is working on
that will fit that Android/Iphone bill. Its called Meego. Their first test
phone, the N900, is basically a tablet with phone functions that is running
on a linux os. You can view webpages just like on a computer. It handles all
the flash pages just fine. Does multimedia for all the most common codecs,
so you can play your videos off your home server, or the internet. You can
broadcast music off it to an fm receiver, like your car radio.

But it is a very new product and has a lot to do to make it truly user
friendly. It is mostly a geek's device right now as it is very rough around
the edges. I'm really looking forward to see how it turns out in the next
year with the next release. It definitely is not for everyone, but I think
they are on the way to making a really great device.
