But the device still ships with proprietary components
For the PDA we raffled last year, we took delivery of it and removed the proprietary software before sending it to the winner.
Since it's the communications stack that's proprietary in this case, I don't think that will work.
There is also a proprietary package manager. It looks like there is a free software replacement for it, but the replacement is unable to modify even more things on the phone -- at least that's what I get from reading at linuxdevices.com; I haven't actually tried myself.
