Linux Smartphone.

I have a T Mobile Dash.
With Windows Mobile 6.

It is extremely annoying. It freezes constantly.

Is there a linux OS for a phone?

Thanks.

I am sure something would work...

I mean. I could just format the phone and install it.

Would the iphone OS work? Lol.

I want something faster and more reliable.

I have a Micro SD 2gb card for the phone btw.

Thanks.

I did read about a new phone that is going to come out that will be totally open source. Its not linux, but if you are a developer, its just as good.

What do you recommend I do?
