The Greenphone was a mobile phone developed by Trolltech that uses the Linux -based Qtopia operating system. As the first Linux-based mobile phone with interchangeable, modifiable firmware, it should encourage the use of Linux on mobile phones and smartphones . It was initially intended for developers and was only produced in limited editions by Trolltech's Chinese partner company Yahua Teltech .
In addition to a GSM interface and GPRS support, it has a mini- USB port, which can also be used to exchange firmware, a Bluetooth interface and a slot for miniSD cards.
history
It was released in 2006 in a limited edition. It should give developers the opportunity to test Qtopia programs on a mobile phone. For this purpose, the software is available under a free license (see free software ). Exceptions, however, were the proprietary package management and protocol stacks, for example, until Qtopia 4.3 was released . Since then, however, these parts have also been published under the free GNU General Public License (GPL), which means that the device can be operated without proprietary software. With the appearance of the Neo FreeRunner from the Openmoko project, it was superfluous after these objectives. Accordingly, Trolltech announced the end of production on October 22nd, 2007 and instead announced that it would focus on the Openmoko platform. (Qt Extended is now available as an alternative to the OpenEmbedded-based Openmoko system on the FreeRunner.)
