The SMC WSKP100 Wifi Skype phone is a Linux running phone meant to be used for Skype over wifi without having to use a computer. It retails for around $150 and comes with a 1.8" CSTN LCD (128 x 160, 65K colors), Mini USB and earphone ports, various buttons/keys including volume and directional buttons, ARM9 processor, and 802.11G capable wifi module. The phone has a custom built Linux distribution made by SMC to run the Skype binaries. The goal of this project is to make a custom Linux image for the phone to run other software besides Skype. Since the processor in the phone is ARM9 based, it could be used for some other more interesting solutions.
