You can enjoy all the freedom you want. Just root the phone (and install custom ROM, if you want). Carrier and manufacturer lock is then irrelevant. The only problem is locked bootloaders, but you can avoid that also - buy a phone that hasn't got a locked bootloader.
Nice to hear that you like WP8 UI better, but it's got nothing to do with freedom or linux.
- dubfan 14y ago"Just rooting the phone" is sometimes much easier said than done, even for technically savvy people. I tried to root my LG Thrill (an absolutely horrid phone, so bad LG abandoned it 6 months after release instead of fixing its very serious problems) but I found that my Windows 7 PC would not run the utility required to root the phone. It turns out that it only reliably runs in Windows XP. I'm not about to go buy a license for a 10-year-old OS just to root a phone.
