Synergy has been Motorola's main proprietary OS for ages. It's in most of their current phones. Only the new ROKR E2 and ROKR Z6 use the new Linux platform, even though they've been promising to roll out Linux in a big way for ages.

Synergy is not a smartphone OS. It's what's in the V365, RAZR V3, RAZR V3i/V3t/V3r, etc.

Time to market.

Even though these all look very similar, each version is its own project with its own teams of people working on it. For whatever reason, the team working on the V9 didn't feel they could get it to market this summer with the Linux OS - that would have taken more work, and more time.
