I think the way to go is Free Software.
Currently, the industry is pushing JAVA.

I want to have total control of the UI on my phone.

I WANT LINUX !!

The way to get Linux on your phone is to build your own distro

And free software is out there if you look hard enough.

There is a Linux distribution for mobile phone :
Montavista sells Linux distribution to Motorola and Palm.

Trolltrech has its QT lib (KDE) running on some chinese phones.

But I dont know if it's open source.

I'd like to find something like Debian or Gentoo and a mobile manufacturer provides the interface to GSM/GPRS/EDGE/WCDMA modems.
