Geeks’Phone’s CCR Program: a Real Open Source Phone
http://www.androidjunkies.com/index.php/tag/cosmos/

I think this illustrates that what you get when you buy an Android phone on
a 2 year contract is not really 'open' in the way we think about open.
I also think that we will never see any open hardware in the US, the
carriers have too much control and the FCC is just a political tool.

So is there a place were I can put my outrage to some productive good? is
there an EFF for phones?
Aka I want open hardware that I own and to be able to buy service from
companies at fair market price ( in which companies compete with one anther
not collude )
