At least in the original, narrower, sense, OpenEZX is a kernel reimplementation for Motorola EZX phones (that means, from our POV, pxa27x based ones). The wiki used to host information about other linux phones only for "completeness", and I guess also to be spotted by search engines :P There's also no problem to host pages about details of other non-pxa linux Motorola phones, but people should know that there's just no kernel code for them in OpenEZX itself. > ...Which is great, because Motorola is in turmoil. > Besides being a LiMo founder, Motorola also purchased > half of UIQ.

And my very humble opinion is that we should stick to the original definition of the project, do we (if a "we" still exists :)) want to be another handhelds.org? I wanted to stress that just to clarify the original definition of OpenEZX, don't take the mail wrong. Thanks, Antonio -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
