[Liverpool] Sending sms message from Linux command line through Android phone?

I have implemented an email-to-sms gateway a while ago at a client using 
Gammu/Wammu and a 3g usb modem. Another client is asking for something 
similar, but they want to use an Android phone, which they can 
disconnect from the gateway and use for other purposes when needed. 
Gammu/Wammu doesn't seem to support Android phones yet. Anybody here has 
any experience with sending text messages from Linux command line using 
an Android phone (ideally through USB)? The adb command seems like a 
possibility, but the examples I've seen look messy.

If all else fails, I suppose I could fall back on an older Nokia S40 - 
which is supported by Wammu/Gammu

Many thanks for any pointers :-)
