True open mobile platform?
Actually, I'm going to get off winmobile and look for one.
Requirements:
live (openmoko doesn't count).
Open (it means fuck Android with its jailbreaks). Opened these types - I put what I want, without any questions, and not only from the SuperDuperAppStore, as in the days of the 6th winmobile. Outlook databases, file system - everything is open.
open for developemnt. I took it, wrote it, you work, like on wm6 when you had to cross a pocket smart with a couple of devices, without restarting after upgrading programs and a developer phone for many thousands.
Wish - linux-based.
As I understand it, now the only one is meego / openmoko?

“Open (it means fuck Android with its jailbreaks). “
What are you talking about, exactly? About replacing recovery and root?

On Android, you can install software not from the official market without any problems. Moreover, this is standard functionality and you do not need to “jailbreak” anything.

Yes, you answered your own question. Meego is not yet an OS for phones. Android is not completely free. OpenMoko and LiMo are dead bodies.
If you choose from everything that exists now - android. For development, developerphone and an expensive development environment are not needed. Any android phone and free eclipse/idea is enough.
There will be no completely open phone, it is unprofitable for manufacturers.

First: the android itself is open. Another thing is that the vendors who put it on their devices decide to make some kind of barrier in front of users, something like a test for education, before giving full power over system resources. Otherwise, the user will be able to easily kill his device himself.
Secondly: why did you get the idea that vendors who will install meego on their devices will also, by default , include all sorts of digital firmware signatures? yes, they can be disabled. and this is a test of the user's competence. If he passes it, he will have the opportunity to change everything by performing low-level settings. And for a simple user who has not passed such a test, it will be more difficult to make a brick out of his device.
