You can apt-get it under Debian and run it on the hardware.  It's pretty slow 
with the Xglamo server, and completely unusably slow with the xorg framebuffer 
server that you'll generally find on a Debian install.

Personally, though, I'm wondering what kind of development efforts would be 
required to have the option of using completely custom 'third party' (for lack 
of a better term) input-method software, so that I can just opkg remove 
official-keyboard; opkg install dasher-input  .. or something like that :)

As far as I know, if you're going to use illume/qtopia-x11 for launching 
software and making calls, then that's the keyboard you have, like it or not... 
and changing it means changing your window manager and such.

I'd like to be wrong about that, so someone please correct me if I am.
