Actually most of the nokias = have an arm processor 8MB ram, 2Mb flash rom and peripheral (RF frontend, L= CD, keyboard, codec, modem and smartcard) interfaces whose regs and address= es are proprietory.

You can read the fla= sh download it into an arm disassmbler and figure out the io addresses of t= he peripherals and the code used to drive them. The peripherals are actuall= y not very complex (except the modem). Once this is done u can port linux t= o the phone. However it would take a lot of time and effort to do the first= part. > > Hmm...
