Linux.com | Trolltech's Greenphone: A reasonable first effort
Linux.com reviews the Trolltech Qtopia Greenphone, a mobile phone produced by Trolltech for Qtopia Phone Edition developers. There is a Flickr library of screenshots of the development software and photos of the device itself. The reviewer emphasises that this is a developer's device and is not really a useful mobile phone (especially at the price); there are "annoying quirks" such as a badly-designed rocker button and the device requires recharging every other day, which takes 12 hours and makes the device gets hot. Then again, Trolltech never marketed this device as a consumer mobile phone; the intention was obviously to facilitate application development. (See also some OSNews discussion.)
