Hello everyone!
I was looking at some luxury and/or "tailor-made" phones, like Bellperre http://www.bellperre.com/ or http://www.vertu.com/en/ and I had an idea of building a custom, one-of-a-kind cell phone. I have a background in jewelry so I know that luxury items have a huge mark up, and that materials by themselves (even gold or gemstones) are not obscenely expensive.
What I had in mind was fabricating a housing/case and then taking a cell phone, taking it apart (or at least remove its case) and place it into the case that I made.
I don't want a smart phone, obviously, since that would be difficult to do, but like a very basic color screen phone with a camera and WiFi, something like a Nokia or Motorola phone. I don't want a touch screen phone.
Now, my question is, is it possible to remove a cell phone from its casing and house it in a new casing? Will it work?
I tried to find any sort of tutorial or video online, but I only found a "Raspberry Pi" phone and this http://www.instructables.com/id/Make-your-own-cellphone-from-scratch/ .
I hope to build something similar to this. (Bellperre phone)
Thanks alot!
