Developers have created a version of the Android operating system that can run on Nokia phones, giving users the ability to access Google's software. The NITDroid project has released a stable version of Android 2.2, dubbed "Froyo," for the Nokia N900, which usually ships with Nokia's Maemo operating system.

With the Android hack, users can receive calls and data and access Google applications on their Nokia device, however, the software is still missing camera functionality.

The NITDroid project, which has focused on porting Android for Nokia's tablet devices with varying degrees of success, said some N900 users have been unable to make calls on a 3G network or change the screen brightness while running Android. The group added that the N810 is fully-functional since there is no phone on the device.
