this is interseting, but shouldnt one be technically knowledgeble to do so

I have to say this is an interesting concept if nothing else. Are any manufacturers interested in this idea? I will keep my eyes open to see if this catches on!

Nice. GSM only I assume ?

Although the body will look exactly like the phone shown here, the internals are up for debate; GPS, 7-megapixel camera, 4GB internal memory, stereo speakers and Windows Mobile (or equivalent) operating system aren't out of the question. It even has two SIM card slots so you can keep your work and play in the same phone. Prices are variable, obviously, but they start at a quite reasonable $149 for a 3-megapixel version with Windows Mobile and a 3-inch VGA display.
