AFAIK, there are no fully open phones available generally. The closest small device (if you are willing to give up phone capabilities beyond VOIP) is probably the Archos 5 with the Angstrom Linux Distro installed (as a dual boot with Android).

Although, I don't think that they are available anymore.

Maemo is only partially open:

N900 was an open device.
But MeeGo has an open API with the hardware so at least some MeeGo devices will be more open than N900 at least in this respect.
