im talking even better than that. The phone is designed to boot a certain file when it starts up that initiates the boot process. its just a mini computer. I dont see why it couldnt have a bootloader installed, and then the bootloader pointed to the location of the boot init files for the individual operating systems. theoretically you could have the device boot up to a loader, and then you select which os you want to boot, and it boots it. the number of alternate roms you could run would only be limited by how much space you have on the phone. that being said, if it could be designed to install the operating system onto the SD card, you can run as many os's as you wanted.
