Snom 360 Firmware Hacking
The SNOM 360 is a linux based hardphone, the linux kernel comes in a seperate file from the root filesystem and the software application for the phone is in its own file. I'm no expert but this seems to be a perfect platform for hacking and firmware mods. Sounds like it would be as easy as hacking the linksys wrt54g. MORE TO COME!

I question how much this phone can be hacked. I haven't looked at any SNOM GPL repositories but I don't think there'd need to be much there. As per the GPL they have to release source code they distribute, which means the Linux kernel/tools/etc they use for the phone's OS, filesystem, and possibly bootloader. However the rest I'd assume is a custom application written on top of linux, the application that speaks SIP, interfaces with the keypad/display/audio/etc, and if this is a custom app then it may not be GPL and thus no source would be required. I could of course be wrong, I haven't looked at any SNOM licensing agreements lately.
What can almost definately be done- rewrite the app that runs on the phone. This may be tricky though...
