: But... "Complete Open Phone" is more of a concept than a project really. So if you're designing mobile-phone like hardware that you release with an "open" license like [http://creativecommons.org/ Creative Commons] or [http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html Gnu Public License], to be used with "open" mobile phone software like [http://familiar.handhelds.org/ Familiar Linux] or [http://libgsmc.sourceforge.net/ LIBGSMC], then you're doing the same thing I'm talking about. | : But...

− | : I'm the first person I know who's called for opening up hardware and software for mobile devices. I hardly belive I'm the first person to come up with the idea, though. It's a good idea and given the number of highly capable geeks out there, it's an idea that you won't be able to put "back in the box." In other words... "Complete Open Phone" is just the name I came up with for a "movement" that I and other people have been working on (people like [http://surjpatel.com/ Surj Patel] (who runs [http://opencellphone.org/ the Open Cell Phone] site.), [http://www.seattlewireless.net/~casey/ Casey Halverson] up at Seattle Wireless, and Nathan and all the gang at [http://sparkfun.com/ SparkFun].) And now that I've finally browsed over here, I can tell other people that the "Open Circuits" community are also interested. | + | : I'm the first person I know who's called for opening up hardware and software for mobile devices.

: Some of us at the [http://hbmobile.org/ Homebrew Mobile Phone Club] are (in our copious spare time) designing and building "open" phone designs. We're more interested in building phones than web-pages, unfortunately. But, I'm hoping to have the time over the holidays to post a few pictures and designs. You'll find more information at the [http://hbmobile.org/wiki/ Homebrew Mobile Phone Club Wiki] and we'll probably post instructions at the [http://www.instructables.com/ Instructables web site]. Heck, we'll probably also post some designs here, that what it seems to be setup for. | : Some of us at the [http://hbmobile.org/ Homebrew Mobile Phone Club] are (in our copious spare time) designing and building "open" phone designs.

- I would suggest you start by integrating USB on-the-go functionality (USB host functionality); that way, you only need an adapter to use any USB-based alterna-keyboard. You may also be able to then integrate the keyboard into the device as an attached USB-connected device with little fuss. | - I would suggest you start by integrating USB on-the-go functionality (USB host functionality); that way, you only need an adapter to use any USB-based alterna-keyboard.
