  That would be something :). I suppose you should be able to easy install
  one of wallets on top of QtMoko, as it is Debian based... the possible
  issue here is wallet's GUI not prepared for small screen.
 
 There might also be issue with the size of the blocks files, they seem to
 consume over 6.9GB on the disk

Recent clients seem to be addressing this problem (going by release info not 
personal experience.) 
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=173182.0
How they got there:

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BIP_0037
If I understand correctly the current version of Bitcoin-Qt should be able to 
work in this mode.

Nope, and it's probably not worth the effort since it's become
exponentially harder to mine them. The FR simply doesn't have the
processing power to make it a useful platform for bitcoin mining. It
would probably be an excellent way to shorten the lifespan of one
however.

I don't use mine as a regular phone any longer but it still gets
limited use performing other duties that aren't too taxing.
