While I got excited about this at first, after spending some time on the crackberry forums, it seems the main intention of using grsec is to prevent rooting, not necessarily to protect the user. So that means no cyanogenmod or replicant, and users will be stuck with whatever custom bloatware/spyware blackberry decides it should have. All I really want is a fully open source phone that I have control over, is that really too much to ask?

"All I really want is a fully open source phone that I have control over, is that really too much to ask?" An open baseband is the missing piece and that appears to be rocket science. If only someone would leak the specs of a modern baseband the same way calypso was leaked ... anyone ? Anyone ?

While not quite specifically security minded -- you should look into FirefoxOS -- it's completely open source, built on a fork of android. Unfortunately high spec firefoxos-pre-installed phones aren't really available in the US right now, but you can also convert an existing phone to run FFOS.
