Ahem, this is the GSM variant of the RAZR2. Neither the V8m (CDMA version) or the V9 (HSDPA version) will run Linux.

Bummer.

No i know for a fact that the verizon version will NOT be linux!! The verizon version is the V9M.

But im hoping there will be a Firmware hack.

Verizon will have a new version FLash UI for the V9m. Different from the other verizon phones Flash UI.

it can't be that much different though, right? isn't verizon trying to keep there UI common between all of their phones.

even if it is new, it will still suck in comparison to the new motorola ui, and i'm sure verizon will go ahead and disable all your bluetooth profiles and file management capabilities.

verizon ui = phone neutered 😲

Thanks for confirming what I said in my original post. 😉 The v8 is the GSM variant which does indeed run Linux.

The HSDPA and CDMA versions do not.

The V8 has Linux. He said that 🙂

Also the CDMA (Sprint/Verizon/Alltel) versions get slower processor, less screen colors and older version of bluetooth.
