Is there any phone with full open source support? So you can compile Android and run it without any proprietary driver blobs.

Yes. The newest device is the Samsung S3 (2012) https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/GalaxyS...
You can also run mainline linux on the Nexus 7 2012 but you lose wifi support.
Most alternative OSs just use the patched kernel that shipped with the device.

That's a little bit sad state of affairs. But better than nothing, thanks! Latest version was released almost 3 years ago. I wonder if security being taken seriously? It seems that security holes are found more often than that.
