Hi people, before all sorry for my bad english, I am latinoamerican Ambassador, especifically in Venezuelan, I have a smartphone Huawei, Model UM840. Actually is smartphone leader in Movilnet Carrier.
My idea is: Run Fedora in um840 to promote Fedora in my country.
um840 use a ARM11 Family processor, Qualcomm 7200A at 528Mhz with 198mb RAM.
The phone have Android OS (2.1).
if Android is based in Linux Kernel, then I think in port Fedora Linux to phone.
but I have two problems.
- I don't know a bootloader to dual boot (Android + Fedora)
- I don't know How to port Fedora 12 Arm in readable binary image for
smartphone.
Again, sorry for my bad english & thanks.
Regards.

I think will be probably more usefull showing fedora running in a
Itamar, I dont have that hardware. I am Ambassador, I think in promote use of Fedora. I think Fedora in Smartphone is a perfect marketing tool to motive people to use fedora in my country.
I don't disagree but the work to produce a working smart phone is not insignificant. Its not something we're currently aiming for. Tablets... well that's another thing. Its something that's actively being looked at from a number of perspectives.
