A good start would be to look at the device list on
http://wiki.openezx.org/Project_devices
Any device in the first two tables are supported by the project. (gen1 and
gen2 ezx family of phones).
In fact the first 3 devices are much more a "gen0" generation, and they are
quite hard to find ( i guess).

some details that come to my mind:
A910 is quite cool, one could devellop with a terminal on your
computer/keyboard using ssh over wifi! :p

The Magx platform isn't supported, but the good thing is that the stock
linux kernel from opensource.motorola.com is already a 2.6, an other good
thing is that it has been made possible bypass the security (RSA?) to boot
(and flash?) a custom kernel ( on EZX it was 2.4, and every drivers have
been rewritten from scratch).

A1600 is not a magx, but its hardware isn't supported too, i've heard it is
very different from an ezx gen2 device.

What really need the openezx project:
-Integrate some update on distros (with a GUI, like zhone, qtopia or
aurora, working with our kernel, not android it is too slow, X, also take a
lot of ram, but it's worth a try, maybe).

-rework on the sound driver, that used to work ( sometimes between 2.6.26
and 2.6.28 revisions in our git)

- a lot of idea i can't even think of at the moment :)
