This isn't exactly what you are talking about but it is still in the
spirit:
http://www.raspberrypi.org/piphone-home-made-raspberry-pi-smartphone/
Basically someone built their own d.i.y. smartphone around a Raspberry
Pi, so if you were so inclined it could be possible to construct your
own open source phone I suppose.

hi All,
If this is not the best place for such a question, direct me

Still I am wondering if there are open source /Linux based mobile
devices?
If so who manufactures them?
Linux based? Well.... can you say Android?
Open Source - kind of depends what you mean:
- you can root an Android phone and you have a Linux environment to
play with
- there are various hybrids, in various states - proprietary phone
interface stuff, open source userland -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_for_mobile_devices is kind of a
starting point
- fully open source - see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_open-source_mobile_phones - not
a lot of penetration
- Debian based - see https://wiki.debian.org/Mobile/
