DIY Open Source Phone

Everyone has a phone. Lot's of people are joining the "maker" movement. I guess I am surprised there haven't been more initiatives like David Mellis' DIY phone. I doubt that going this route can be justified from a pure cost perspective (candybar phones probably go for about $10 on eBay). But if you've got the knack and the itch, then there is certainly ample opportunity now to pursue it. What I find most compelling is the creative range of case designs that has resulted.

From The Verge:

"Mellis describes his DIY phone as "a difficult but potentially do-able project" that should cost around $200 to complete."

Very tempting, but I've got far too many projects already in progress.
