Subject: [Hampshire] New Linux-based phone
Hello Folks

I've just stumbled across a news item[1] which mentions LiMo[2],
apparently "the first truly open, hardware-independent, Linux-based
operating system for mobile devices".

Vodafone have just announced a new phone that will run LiMo; their
page[3] manages not to mention Linux at all, of course. Or a price.

I'm not usually into cutting-edge telephony, but my phone is up for
renewal soon...

Any thoughts about how LiMo compares with Android[4]? Or any of the
other shiny toys that are 'coming soon'[5]?
