I'm happy to see that. So far, Nokia N900 is reaonably supported (basically everything
but Bluetooth works, voicecalls miss userland daemon for audio), and Motorola
Droid 4 (modem needs some more in kernel, camera will be hard).

Is there anything with similar support coming in, or is it usual "it boots,
serial console works"?

Should we have some kind of linux-phones mailing list? There is quite a lot of
stuff common in phones.

Best regards,
