Of course, it is not a phone
But it might be of interest to developers here.

Direct Insight debuts SODIMM-sized, ARM-based computer-on-a-module
By Donald Melanson posted Dec 5th 2009 12:21PM
Well, it may not exactly be the computer everyone's been pining for, but those that have dreamed of an ARM Cortex-A8-based computer on a SODIMM module now finally one to call their own. That comes in the form of Direct Insight's new TRITON-TX51, which outdoes the Nokia N900 with an 800MHz Cortex-A8 processor, along with Freescale's i.MX515 system-on-a-chip, 128MB DDR400 RAM, 128MB of NAND flash, and a touchscreen controller that can drive screens at resolutions up to 1,280 x 768. You'll also get some other things nice to have on a computer like a 10/100 ethernet controller and a USB 2.0 interface, and even a reasonably capable PowerVR graphics engine that can do OpenGL ES 2.0 and hardware 720p decoding for MPEG-4/H264 video. Look for this one to land sometime next month for €150 (or just over $220).

Interesting, but it doesn't say what operating system it runs (I'm guessing Linux though since it is ARM).

The existing Triton modules are "running Windows CE 6.0 or Linux 2.6" according to their site:

Don't forget that this is just a module, you have to stick it into a baseboard to get a functional system.
