Ogg-friendly phone, anyone?

Agentless Backup is Not a Myth

I'm looking for a mobile phone handset that has an FM radio and also supports the Ogg Vorbis file format.

There seem to be some excellent Sony and Samsung mobiles that have FM radio and support MP3 and WMA, but I need Ogg support.

And I'm running Linux, so the ability to drag and drop music files on the device is essential.

Any suggestions?

Or the Neo FreeRunner

Since that is running gnu+linux on it... Though any phone that has decent computing power and has support for installing apps should be able to have some ogg app on it...
