CES 2008: Wistron NeWeb Corp. GW4 Linux Phone Is Amazing And Will Have Android Soon

Alright, I'll admit, I've never heard of this company, they also go by WNC, and they had a Linux phone that I was really impressed with. First, it has Linux, version 2.6, which means its open, then it has WiFi, a touch-screen, Bluetooth, a 2MP camera (which is the only mediocre thing about this phone), and so much more.

It has a 2.5" QVGA display, a full QWERTY keyboard as well. It connects via USB and it has tons of software including and MP3 player, Web Browser, email, calendar, all the normal stuff that you would find on any other smartphone, and its all compatible with its Microsoft counterparts, and all open source.

The best part is that it was light, I mean, I've had the Q from Motorola, the Centro, and various other QWERTY phones and this is by far the lightest QWERTY I have ever had in my fat little hands. Alright, now here is the real banger, it already is running some form of mobile Linux, but it has a fat processor in it, and they said, that as soon as its released, they are going to offer an update to android.
