Radedas asked in a blog comment about the RAZR 2, wondering if the Motorola RAZR 2 had an open or closed Linux distro. In news announcements, the new RAZR 2 is said to have JUIX on it, which from what I've read, is a smaller version of Motorola's Linux/Java software. That should be fine to run a phoneME Advanced stack on top of, even if it is the more restricted closed form of the Moto Linux distro. Without having to rebuild a new kernel, phoneME Advanced can be built using the OpenEZX header files to link to the EZX or JUIX libs. This is the same as what other Linux apps do. Layering Java ME on the Linux kernel is a good approach for these types of Moto Linux phones (more in future posts).

For now, here are some more comments in the news about iPhone vs. these new type of Linux/Java cell phones from Moto.

Comparison of iPhone vs. RAZR 2

Here's a quote:

 The handset even goes beyond  
 sight and sound with springy 
 haptic feedback when using 
 its touch-sensitive media 
 playback controls.  Unfortunately, 
 while at least some RAZR 2s will 
 include Motorola's Linux / Java 
 platform (JUIX), the basic 
 navigation and text entry 
 paradigms share most of the 
 limitations of their 
 predecessors.
