Mobile phone with a very different look.

The more things change.......................:))))))))

I've had thoughts of doing this myself, but I couldn't find gsm modules
for a decent price. Though about hacking up my old 3310 for this purpose
but I couldn't bring myself to hack up a working phone. :)

You want a non-working 3310? =)

You could say that. I suppose since I've got a few friends in the mobile
phone repair industry, might try to sponge a working mainboard and antenna
off them. I don't need working screens, speakers or mics.

Retro fitting old rotary phones could be an interesting project.

Don't know about working mainboard, but I've got a waterdamaged one that is
missing the screen, mic, vib motor, pretty much everything if you want it.
if you're close, free. if not, $2 for a postpak :)

I reckon there could be a market for it..

On the other hand Voxon in Brisbane has been manufacturing mains
powered, modern desktop GSM phones for China and some other Asian
countries - it seems GSM is cheaper than rolling out copper wires in
areas without existing phone service.

It's cheaper to roll out mobile phones here too. In fact, at a former work,
as part of their comms systems, their phone system had 4 GSM engines
connected to the internal phone network. If an internal caller was calling a
mobile, the system would divert the call to the GSM engine rather than using
a land line to dial out, because it was cheaper than using the land line.

Does it come with a belt clip?
