So over the last week or so I've been making an increased effort to liberate
some newer hardware that I've got to run free GNU/Linux distros. However,
there is another device I'd like a little advice on liberating if anyone
knows.
That is my mobile phone. The current phone I have is a Samsung Galaxy
Discover phone that runs on the Telus Network here in Canada (HSPA
800/1900MHz).
The device runs android, it is old and slow, and I do not expect that it can
run free software. (If it can that'd be nice, but I doubt it). How I take it,
Android is non-free software, but there are other OSes available and devices
that are compatible, I just don't know what they are.
If anyone can point me in the right direction of finding a mobile phone that
is compatible with free software that will run on my providers network that'd
be appreciated. I am aware that free software cannot protect from
triangulation, for example, but it's easy enough to turn the device off, and
if you have a free software compatible device, off should in theory mean off.
The other would be a router. Does anybody know any good routers to buy that
work with free software firmware? Preferably one I could buy preloaded, or
one that is easy to load. Thanks!
