I believe it needs a hacked version of the original firmware really and everything would work and if you could hack the internet and email apps in the Main Software so it would work with a network adapter to download email and that.

But that will never happen because there is no interest in the device no more and its too old now. I would like a hacked version of it. You could put a Raspberry PI in it and would need a 6 inch screen. I would like to use it as intended, as a phone and that.

Android's also way too big! Even the earliest version (I have one on my desk) needed 192MB. Current versions get a bit uncomfortable in 2048MB..

Linux is really too big for the E3; the OS, even the 10-year-old version the E3 used, doesn't scale down well that far. Now, if you wanted to port something like Minix to it...

Thanks, do I download the latest version, its a shame this can’t run Android, Android uses Linux to run, well Android is Linux in a way, it come from it If Linux didn’t exist Android wouldn't.
