Not yet. We're still in early development days on Android -- right now,
we're in the process of getting the early system support code up and
running there, so we're still months away from a testable browser on the
platform, and that's not counting finding some major problem that
prevents progress.

I think this was a total mistake in not hitting the android platform
first. How many people own the Nokia phone, compared to android
devices?

It wasn't possible to port Firefox for Android because software for
Android is written in Java and core of Firefox is written in C/C++.

In september this year Google released Android 1.6 NDK which made
Firefox pro Android possible. See:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/ndk/1.6_r1/index.html

Nokia phones are very popular in Europe and Nokie N900 is very good
device which get good reviews from press.
