Are You A Linux Geek? You'll Love These Phones

The Ministry of Tech blog has a post listing The 5 Hottest Phones for Linux Fanatics. All these "phones" are built on the Linux platform and in theory, should enable communities to be created around them to customize their functionality.

Listed below are the phones (and their ProductCritic Score if available):

1. FIC Neo1973
2. Sony mylo (ProductCritic Score = 67)
3. ROAD S101K HandyPC
4. Motorola A1200 (ProductCritic Score = 83)
5. Grundig B700

The Motorola A1200 (also known as the "Ming") has pretty good reviews but the Sony mylo has quite mixed ones. This is probably because the mylo really isn't a phone in the traditional sense in that you can only make calls if you're connected via Wi-fi and use Skype...it doesn't have the traditional cell phone capabilities (and therefore the monthly fees or contracts).
