“ChinaGrabber is selling an unlocked, quadband GSM cellphone
that runs Linux on a 624MHz Marvell PXA310. The $570 BPhone
features a 5-inch 800 x 480 touchscreen with 180-degree rotation,
plus WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, and up to 16GB flash expansion.

“Retail site ChinaGrabber is not likely the manufacturer of the
BPhone, although the phone appears to have no branding at all
except for the BPhone name. The unlocked phone runs Linux 2.6 on
Marvell’s ARM/XScale PXA320 processor, which first shipped in 2007.
Clocked to 624MHz, the processor is accompanied by 128MB SDRAM and
256MB of flash storage, says ChinaGrabber. An SD slot is said to
support cards up to 16GB.”
