If you want a mobile phone that you control, you need to buy something like a samsung galaxy player (contains no baseband processor, contains no mobile phone infrastructure) and then attach a USB modem to it (or carry a MIFI or whatever).
There's one problem, however, and that is all of the fancy noise cancellation and voice smoothing are actually done on the baseband proc, and userland implementations of this for VOIP apps are typically pretty crummy.
I'd be (pleasantly) surprised if devices like the Galaxy Player didn't still have binary blobs for the Wifi/BT and video hardware. Even NICs for otherwise fairly open PC/ATX machines all still have the proprietary blob firmware drivers.

Me, I am sticking with my MOTO FONE / F3 for now.
