The most open phone I'm aware of is Nokia N900. It runs Maemo, and can run full blown Debian, AFAIK. Never heard of anyone running OpenBSD on one, but perhaps it is possible? I'm assuming it would take some hacking, though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_N900 I'd like to play with one at some point, but I'm a little too broke for that at the moment.
