Liberting other technology

So over the last week or so I've been making an increased effort to liberate some newer hardware that I've got to run free GNU/Linux distros. However, there is another device I'd like a little advice on liberating if anyone knows.
That is my mobile phone. The current phone I have is a Samsung Galaxy Discover phone that runs on the Telus Network here in Canada (HSPA 800/1900MHz).
The device runs android, it is old and slow, and I do not expect that it can run free software. (If it can that'd be nice, but I doubt it). How I take it, Android is non-free software, but there are other OSes available and devices that are compatible, I just don't know what they are.
If anyone can point me in the right direction of finding a mobile phone that is compatible with free software that will run on my providers network that'd be appreciated. I am aware that free software cannot protect from triangulation, for example, but it's easy enough to turn the device off, and if you have a free software compatible device, off should in theory mean off.
The other would be a router. Does anybody know any good routers to buy that work with free software firmware? Preferably one I could buy preloaded, or one that is easy to load. Thanks!

These guys can help you liberate your phone as much as possible http://www.replicant.us/
Regarding the router, wasn't Chris of Thinkpenguin searching for testing users for his new libre router?
Regarding router: I believe, I skimmed through that thread but didn't read the whole thing, haha. I was just wondering if there were other routers that work nicely, not testing. I may do that though.
Replicant is the free mobile OS I couldn't remember. I doubt my device will work with it, I'll look, but does anybody know of any devices that they suggest I get that does work with Replicant?
"does anybody know of any devices that they suggest I get that does work with Replicant?"
The Replicant website has a list of compatible devices.
