The only company that is investing to develop a free software platform
for mobile phones which I know of, is ACCESS.

A few years ago there was a company called Palm which developed
smartphones (treo, etc.) with the PalmOS proprietary operating system.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_OS
Then the PalmOS division left Palm and formed a new company called
Palmsource but the OS was still proprietary.
Later a company called ACCESS acquired Palmsource and now they are
working on APL: Access Linux Platform (they called the system Linux
instead of GNU/Linux).

They hope to begin selling smartphones with APL before the end of 2007.
Is the Mobile GNU/Linux era beginning?
