Yup,

I use a Nokia E71 Smartphone, runs on Linux.

Take a look at the N900 looks like an interesting cross between the N800
Linux table and a cell phone.

PDA's are depricated. Smartphones have taken over. I don't use them as
of yet, but heard good things about Android. Just the fact that is
encourages open source development should be a good indication of the
company behind it.
