I do understand you deeply. I myself posted a thread on my wish for a Debian Phone. And I recently got a Pandora, too, even if 12 times the 'two months later' (TM) interval that's turned in a classic in the OpenPandora mythology.

Though, I don't think that would be easy. Have you seen how many stops and difficulties those guys have faced? Making hardware within the time and costs planned needs a corporation, and Nokia's examples teach us that not even a big corporation is always able to do it right.

I think the best way to get what I call the Debian Phone is to select among the already existing hardware and tweak it to the limit to turn it in a libre device. I have a gut feeling that something like the Galaxy S line can be turned upside down and made boot Debian - but I might be wrong of course, not being an expert.
