There are some works going on to run linux on the S710.
Maybe this is a point to start:

I pray for Android to be available eventually.

oh.. i watched the android demo video. I'm really surprised..

Will this OS run on all Smartphones? For example on our HTC Wings? ;)

Yes, it is designed for both touch and non-touch.
