The emulation just gives the basic feel of UI. I am sure there is much more to it. Similarly QTopia, Android & Debian can be emulated. I will try them later.

Here we go,

The splash screen:

The U Bootleader

The general info before booting :

The codes scrolling:

Nothing gives more high then seeing codes scrolling like this on a mobile phone

^^ Finally the login prompt

The welcome screen

The terminal

The Browser

Sample Input

Programs + Calender

@Metalheadgautam As per your question dude, QTopia is best suited for this device. It looks snazzy and is fast!
Awesome review. Thanks. Is QTopia also free ?

I advice against it. This is a 2007 phone, comparable to oldies. Wait for the new model to be out. I guess it could come with a thinner body and 5mp cam.
