<h3>The current situation of freedom and privacy/security on mobile devices</h3>
<p>
- A mobile device respecting the users' freedom would have:<ul><li>Free hardware</li><li>Free firmwares</li><li>Free modem system</li><li>Free bootrom and bootloader</li><li>Free system and applications</li></ul>Regarding <a href="#free-hardware">free hardware</a>, it doesn't quite exist as of today, or barely.

Modifying hardware is nearly impossible: new versions of the hardware have to be produced, and those are expensive.
While producing printed circuit boards (PCBs) costs a lot of money, producing integrated circuits is out of reach.
A few devices come with schematics for the PCB, but that's usually as far as it gets.
