Not phones, but the Nook is android on a Samsung platform.

Interesting; though the scope there is quite a bit smaller; no real radio management, low-latency audio paths, fast 3D graphics, are required which makes the driver bring-up less intensive. Also the hardware refresh cycle for these is probably a lot slower than a phone, so you can recoup a lot more of your investment.

Thing is, Linux has a pretty good mainline stack for all of these things (possibly excepting 3D) - to the extent that people play with mainline a lot of this stuff is available off the shelf.

The Samsung Spica Android phone is also built on their own platform (6410 I
believe).
