I'd like to try my hand at porting maemo 4 to the 5800/N97 since the hardware specifications of these devices seem to be very close to N800 hardware. My general approach is to modify firmware upgrade files used for 5800 to make it boot a linux kernel and use the userland unmodified from N800 since they should binary compatible.

If you have any other suggestions or thoughts, I'd really like to hear them.
I’ll keep track on this thread because 5800 is still my phone. I don’t want to damage it. It’s an amazing phone.
