Sun released JavaFX 1.1 two days ago. This release included the JavaFX Mobile platform. Sony Ericson, LG Electronics, Orange, Sprint, Cynergy and MobiTV are listed as partners.

Josh Marinacci: JavaFX 1.1 has just been released with full mobile support. Several partners have also just announced their support for JavaFX, including LG and Sony Ericsson. You can get the new version of JavaFX and read about the partners at JavaFX.com.

Windows and Mac are still the only supported platforms for JavaFX 1.1. And some of the the work around that I blogged about here, here, and here for making JavaFX 1.0 work on Linux no longer works with JavaFX 1.1.

Since most of the improvements are in the JavaFX Mobile area, and that part is not even available on the Mac, Linux users probably won't see too much difference even if JavaFX 1.1 could be made to work on Linux. So I would wait for an official Linux release the way Mac users wait for the official release of the JDK from Apple.

If you can live with only the command line tools, you can download the Mac version of the NetBeans 6.5 module and unzip it (It's a zip formatted file). You can find a javafx-sdk subdirectory underneath the netbeans directory. Again, only the portion of the JavaFX 1.1 SDK that doesn't depend on any native libraries works.
