Hi Marcelo,
           check the CategoryPorts page on the emacswiki:
           http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/CategoryPorts

           Personally I use emacs on my android phone, which includes a
           Debian installation, see here:

           http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsOnAndroid 

           I use the android scripting environment to access android
           programs from emacs. This allows me to make phone calls/send
           text messages with BBDB in emacs, while I can still use the
           useful gui stuff in android such as maps, web-browsing,
           bar-code scanner etc. 

           I believe android is the way to go since it is open source
           and hackable, while also having a large repertoire of cool
           and useful apps.

           The only drawback is that the initial setup is quite
           complicated and time-consuming. You need to be fairly
           technically minded.
