I have a Samsung Omnia i910, which is a CDMA version of the i900 phone
released for GSM networks in Europe. The key difference is that the
i910 uses an MSM6800A (which supports CDMA and GSM both) chipset
instead of whatever it is that the i900 uses.

The Andromnia project aims to port Android, and has so far gotten
battery, touch screen, wifi, LED, send and receive button support, as
well as SMS and Call support working on GSM phones.

On CDMA phones, the project fallen short, not supporting voice or SMS
calls...though I can get it to boot, it doesn't really function enough
to be used yet.

I have found some good resources, though. An HTC group of devs is
porting MSM7X drivers, which should share some common code not only
for multimedia functions, but also for CDMA support.

I have also found a datasheet that details the individual chipset
components. The modem/digital signal processor for the MSM6800 is a
qualcomm QDSP4000.

After much googling, I've found that the sierra kernel module for usb
modems supports CDMA modems based on this chipset, which may or may
not help in development as well.

I have links below to these things. Overall, I'm not really sure where
to start. Once call and SMS support are going, I think the project
will get more steam to get things like GL, accelerometer, FM, tv out,
and other hardware functions ironed out...

Any help? All is appreciated!
