Trolltech Greenphone

Trolltech unveiled its latest addition to the cell phone market with Qtopia Greenphone, a Linux mobile development device open for unlimited software innovation. Offered as part of the Greenphone SDK, it makes Linux-based applications easier to build and faster to bring to market. Trolltech looks to introduce their "Greenphone" as part of several software development kits they'll be offering starting next month.

The Greenphone is a Quad-band GSM phone with GPRS capabilities and run on Linux kernel 2.4.19 software. The phone features Touch-screen and keypad UI and QVGA LCD color screen. It includes Bluetooth, 64MB of RAM, 128MB of ROM with a miniSD slot for expansion, and as mentioned a QVGA touchscreen sitting atop a 317MHz XScale. Interested parties best be on their toes, as the phone won't be offered alone, and SDK packages will be available in strictly limited quantities. The phone though is targeted squarely at Qtopia developers but one just cant rule out the fact that it could just as well be decent looking handset for the masses.
