On the topic of linux phones:
Are there any that are completely free software?
I think I read a while ago that there's still some proprietary stuff in
there, the part that enables it to make calls or something.
I wouldn't be happy with that kind of 'open' phone.
Yeah, there's still at least two proprietary parts in openmoko's
Freerunner: GSM and Glamo.
GSM: as open source its tough because there are FCC certifications involved.
Smedia Glamo 3362 (Graphics chip) : NDAd .
I'm hoping glamo gets replaced, also for technical reasons (good, but
not great chip imho) .
