    I use a Nokia N900 which runs a pretty well full-fleged version of
    Linux (Debian based) - it works fine with complex scripts - though
    you do have to install fonts for some scripts.

    Anyway, at the time I bought it, it was the only phone I found that
    worked with Tibetan without some serious hacking.
