Can I put Linux on this thing?

This new phone from Samsung boasts
1-megapixel camera, two color screens and a 1.5-gigabyte, 1-inch hard disk drive
All I wanna know is: can I put Linux on it? It's about 3 times the minimum requirement to install Linux on that thing, so I'm wondering
  1. can I install it?
  2. where do I plug in the usb
    1. serial port, for the pH monitor for my fishy tank
    2. NICs, so this thing can route traffic in a hostile environment
    3. keyboard and mouse ... or do I just learn T9
No, really, actually: what I want to know is if this means we'll get new, smaller router machines. The Linksys unit is cool, and the usb storage device is cool too, but they both miss the mark. We need a newly converged unit, and this phone could push us there. (more later, when I have time)
