So someone decided to DIY a phone 📱 because apparently, the tech giants have lost their sparkle ✨. Meanwhile, Google is busy drowning us in legal jargon and privacy policies nobody reads 🤔. But hey, kudos to the brave soul trying to outshine a trillion-dollar industry with a soldering iron! 🔧💡

Lilbits: A web browser for the reMarkable 2 E Ink tablet, a DIY keyboard phone made from a program Galaxy Z Flip, and more

Last year YouTuber Marcin Plaza built an ultrawide handheld computer with a clamshell design, a QWERTY keyboard, and SteamOS software and called it “a DIY Steam Deck Thingy.” And earlier this year Plaza upgraded that thingy by adding a desktop graphics card.

Plaza’s latest project is something different… although it still has a QWERTY keyboard. It’s a DIY smartphone made by repurposing the […]

This DIY phone is made by taking the cover display and innards from a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip with a broken inner display and cramming them into a new custom case with a slide-out keyboard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qy_9w_c2ub0 #DIYPhone #SamsungGalaxyZFlip

🎶Hello darkness, my old friend...

Here i am talking to the void out there and thinking about who might answer.

And yet i ask a question to this void. A question AI could answer, or reddit, or any employee at my local vendor.

But you know, i like this void and the unpredictability of the answer it might give me.

Wow, sry, lost my thought there:

What smartphone gives me as much freedom and individuality as for example a RaspberryPi or any other linux pc?

Does anybody out there use smartphones that are not customer ware but customizable ware?

🎶 ...I've come to talk with you again...

Edit:
Well, writing a letter without any destination makes not much sense; #smartphone #diyphone #diy #mobilephone #hackyourphone #jailbreak #Android #linuxphone #soundofsilence #slender4fun #question #RaspberryPI #anotherimportanthashtag #andanother #andanotheronewhynot #thanksforreading #stillhere? #haveATreat

@bradlinder Very imbalanced? I'd like to see reasonable DIY phone, and there were some attempts, but this is not a good one. Power hungry LTE module with tiny battery. (Not to mention expensive). That will not work well. Espruino has better try, for example: https://www.espruino.com/Pixl.js+SMS+Remote+Monitoring #DIYPhone

This DIY "Breadboard Phone" combines a Sparkfun LTE Stick ($150) with a microcontroller, antennas, audio hardware and a keypad to create something... unusual? Impractical? Still kind of cool? https://www.sparkfun.com/news/9414 #SparkfunLTEStick #BreadboardPhone #DIYPhone
