[Noisebridge-discuss] has anyone used a gsm cellphone module from sparkfun to build a cellphone?

[David Rorex]

Oh, if it's just for the fun of it, I totally understand that. I thought
maybe you had some specific kind of thing you were trying to build, and was
interested in that. There's the openmoko guys, they've been at it for a
while, but it's a bigger operation than just a couple people buying off the
shelf parts, since they try to integrate it all into a small package. I
think that would be the hardest part of doing it yourself, getting it down
to the size that you'd want to carry it. Unless you're trying to build a
hamburgerphone cellphone, which is another option.
