Hi,
a though crossed my mind. Would that make sense, to create the inner
part of the phone, but compatible with an existing case. For example,
let's say you make a phone compatible with case and screen of an iphone
1, or 2, or any other phone which had great success. This could provide
a lot of spare parts for little cost.
Does that make any sense?

A rough estimate for smallest quantities (e.g. 5 units):
* a GTA04 (custom) board inside - could become cheaper if no UMTS & GPS
capabilities
* a Sharp LQ070Y3DG3B display [1] ~130 EUR (incl. VAT) @ Avnet Express [2]
* Battery ~30 EUR (incl. VAT)
* PCB + internal components incl. production ~50-100 EUR (incl. VAT)
* Shapeways case ~77 EUR (incl. VAT)
* plus UMTS antenna, GPS antenna (if wanted) ~30 EUR
If someone knows a cheaper source for a display than [2], please let us know.
Provided there is enough interest, we could offer a kit made of battery and
complete PCB and offer the required GTA04-Custom variant (there are some
connectors not installed). And everyone could buy a display and a Shapeways
case whereever he/she likes.
Would that be interesting to have components DIY? Or would there
be more interest in completely assembled devices?
