I built my own Phone... because innovation is sad rn
Alternative/descriptive title?
I decided to mangle a Samsung Flip into a custom made Blackberry all the while, not going bald somehow.
Lad has tenacity I'll give them that.

I think my favorite quote from the video is "You don't have to make a product that fits everyone for it to be a good product".
I liked their inflection via video editing with their suffering

Made me chuckle.
Very neat. Though I wish this kind of thing would be possible to do with open source components.
No but how feasible would it be to do it with like a pi5, a 3d printer, a USB modem, and a lot of pain?
You could do it but it would be enormous. Pi5 draws 10 watts when not idle.
Maybe a Time Machine too?
It was done for previous pi https://hackaday.io/project/195370-raspberry-piphone-a-diy-android-smartphone

I miss 2000's era Nokia. They had their flagship phones that turned a profit but also just did some truly weird shit purely to see if it caught on.
This is awesome. I would pay for something like this...
very good video, although tbh I'd rather have a slab phone.
Reminds me of the ancient Motorola Cube. I had one and loved the little thing.
What a cool design!
It’s a pity that the industry doesn’t take more risks.
They used to but they never paid off. LG was a huge pioneer in the hardware space and look where that got them.
I agree with the sentiment here; I wish more companies took design risks.
I would LOVE to get my hands on a Huawei Pura X, but I doubt it will be available outside China, software concerns aside.
He made a phone using only a 3D printer and a phone And a blackberry
That is insanely cool.
Ive been wanting to get a https://www.tindie.com/products/zitaotech/hackberrypi-cyberdeck-handheld-with-q20-keyboard/ for years! but its always sold out :(
Would be neat if they could figure out a way to move the cameras to the other side the next time they make a phone.
