An open alternative is the goal of the Librem phone from Purism.
- mirimir 9y agoDoes it use closed-source firmware in the radio baseband? And is there a physical switch between the baseband and main system board?
- rhn_mk1 9y agoThe campaign page [0] says there will be a kill switch: > Hardware Kill Switches for Camera, Microphone, WiFi/Bluetooth, and Baseband but is somewhat unclear on the baseband firmware: > The mobile baseband will most likely use ROM loaded firmware, but a free software kernel driver.

- mirimir 9y agoThanks. I somehow didn't see "baseband" in the list of switched stuff. Impressive! About baseband, as others note, I get that it's a minefield.
