Replacing OS on the phone will be "interesting". What you can do is
take java-capable phone (sl45i, 6310i) and start writing your own
apps. (That's what I'm doing just now on
www.sf.net/projects/javaphone, and everyone is welcome to help).

Of course uclinux would be way more sexy, but also *lot* more work.
