The phone does indeed have no proprietary kernel modules. Harald Welte (of gpl-violations.org) did much of the kernel work on the phone.

It does, however, have one proprietary userspace daemon, to control the GPS device. It can be removed if you want a 100% free device.

My understanding is that there's also some proprietary stuff in the radio stack, but it's hidden in a separate hardware module, so you might not want to count it. Don't know whether it's reprogrammable or permanently loaded.
