I want something like this, but for a phone. The Freerunner was the closest thing to an open phone, but the call quality made it unusable (speaker hissing and other noises).
- madez 11y agoMay I suggest cosidering Replicant[1]? https://www.replicant.us/ https://www.replicant.us/
- alfiedotwtf 11y agoI've looked at Replicant too, however I'm really not an Android fan. I long for a Debian phone... the Ubuntu phone does looks interesting too. But FWIW - stock Debian or die.
- federico3 11y agoFreedom and security on mobile devices is arguably more important than workstations, given the amount of information they manage. I'm amazed there aren't large organizations interested in funding a Debian-on-free-hardware phone.
- rosser 11y agoThe Neo900 project is the successor to the Freerunner/OpenMoko, and might be worth checking out. They're still in development, but it has a few pretty compelling features (including and particularly, firewalling the baseband from the rest of the system). https://neo900.org/ https://neo900.org/
- alfiedotwtf 11y agoYeah, It's definitely on my radar. I had an N900 and it was awesome. The only reason why I ditched it was that it didn't work on all the spectrums I needed. The Neo900 looks awesome, and has the upgraded radio. It really does tick all boxes, except the one that says "in stock" :)
