Linux for Nokia?

We have Linux for iPods, Linux for PDAs, we even have Linux for wristwatches. The question is..

Is there a Linux for Nokia? I know the 770 is Linux based, but what about your everyday smartphone? I have a Nokia 6260 which runs Symbian OS S60 (v8.0 I think) with about 512mb RSMMC space to spare. I'd love to have a dual-boot sort of thing like the iPod has (You hold rewind on startup to boot linux, and do nothing to boot to Apple's default OS). Could one write a SIS application that is launched on startup, to close down Symbian and launch the bootloader for linux?

Then the question of GUIs comes into play. What would one do about a GUI, mouse / keyboard? KDE offer a lite version of their window management system, however input is an issue

Any help would be very much appreciated thankyou
