I met Rick (in person for the first time) at SVLUG last night, so this 
thread is a bit revived.

The OpenMoko project is gathering some steam. There is also an effort by 
the GPE folks to do a phone edition. If you can play a VMWare image, 
here's an image for the Phone Edition.

Another project, called xoo [http://projects.o-hand.com/xoo] allows you 
to look at other environments using xnest (I think...) and someone has a 
xoo environment for the OpenMoko phone.
