Hi John, The Samsung Galaxy Player is essentially an Android phone without GSM hardware. It's phone sized and has a microphone and speaker suitable for making VoIP calls. I believe it's possible to install CyanogenMod on it to get a completely free software stack. I don't know whether anyone's tried connecting a USB GSM modem.
