Actually most EZX phones (that's the name of Motorola's Linux touchscreen series) end up with their UI/API more or less cracked, up to (but not including) the A1200/E6. Due to the proprietary GSM/Bluetooth stacks, dev end up being more of a few hacks than anything else, but you can install OPIE on an E680i for example. There is also an ongoing effort to make a specific "EZX Linux" open-source distro (http://openezx.org), much like these Linux distro on HTC phones.
As a side-note, the EZX series is at last expanding beyond the Asian market, as the A1200e will be released in Europe during Q1 2008.
