Retro Cellphone Handset
Jake von Slatt — Thu, 08/20/2009 - 06:53
Here's a project of mine from a few years ago, it's an LG mobile 'embedded' into an old Western Electric model 500 handset.
The Bell Model 500 desk phone manufactured for decades by Western Electric is an icon of Twentieth Century product design. The evolution of the Model 500's receiver begun with the first telephones produced in the late 19th Century and it's longevity has taken it into the 21st. I have always found it to be ergonomically designed and comfortably to use, It is the embodiment of "form follows function".
I am thinking about making a follow up version for my iPhone 3 GS but have yet to find a suitable handset to embed it in.

Bluetooth Handset?
Wermet — Tue, 01/26/2010 - 00:45How about embedding Bluetooth electronics into the handsome handset? This way you will have the flexibility to use the handset with multiple phones. You will also be able to continue using your steampunked handset as you replace cell phones every few years.
Phone reversion
GYrocopter — Sat, 12/26/2009 - 16:18I'd quite like to dismantle my old cell phone to modify the design, but I can't find anything to undo screws that are hexagonal and approx. 0.5cm across.
Can anyone suggest anything?
P.S I'm new to all this, and this is my first potential project, so apologies if I've put my foot in anything.
Easily found

zahal — Thu, 08/20/2009 - 09:05I suggest a brick-cellphone? It might be wide enough that you could mount it on the side.
