It depends on what you mean by Linux/OSS friendly. Motorola have Linux |
| 13 |
based mobiles, IIRC, but they are one of the more expensive designs |
| 14 |
and they aren't particularly Linux desktop friendly, though they |
| 15 |
supposedly follow the standards for OBEX and USB Mass Storage, so |
| 16 |
should work, and if they don't, just get the code and look. |

OpenMoko is definitely the way forward if you want a device you can |
| 19 |
play with though. |
