In my opinion, all smartphones suck, period. A "truly free" smartphone would still suck for as long as it is "smart". What I want instead is a dumbphone: a mobile device that has just enough "horsepower" to make and receive phone calls on a standard GSM network, and not one iota more. But I want this dumbphone to have free firmware, and dumbphones have no separate app vs. baseband processors, thus the whole thing would have to be 100% free in order for any part of it to be free in any way. I'm working on building such a Free Dumb Phone, but it will probably be legal only in the Principality of Sealand and nowhere else. :-( Go to your nearest Sealand embassy or consulate and ask for an immigrant/refugee visa, and cite your country's repressive laws as the reason you are seeking refuge.
