If I were you, I would pop open a used mobile phone and try to get linux kernel running... and do all sorts of investigation... i really want to do this... has anyone in this forum ever done something like this with a mobile phone? if yes, could you please give some pointers on how to do it? i'm not sure whether i'm hijacking this thread... if yes, then i'll post in a separate thread...
cheers...
