Estel,

The problem with n900 is that it gives so many possibilities that no one can really focus on 1.

I did a mod with its speakers, but as I don't find oem housings for my n900 cannot develop it more.

the only way is buying 2nd hand n900 but it costs too much.

I am also waiting for a 64gb emmc and see what can I do.

regards

10x optical zoom for a mobile phone ? I think that would draw a lot of attention to the N900 and your project.

What I'm going to use it for, is testing body part's contact with motherboard (which have high risk of bending forces placed where they shouldn't be, due to dealing with early prototypes). I don't want to use "living" N900's motherboard for this - I once destroyed my main device charging chip, this way.

Motherboard (with all parts present, no matter if working or not) will do, but of course, whole device is even better (custom body replacement project is going to use screen module as-is, adopting it's slider mechanism) - I will be able to mix new and old parts together, checking, if they fit, without risking damaging anything.

Is there anyone, who could donate broken N900 for this project?

/Estel
I would gladly mail you my first n900, its half broken - you can't charge but you can use it if you put in a spare charged battery, the problem is it will eat the battery really fast.

The other problem is that shipping from my country to anywhere else might be a bit expensive.
Tell me your address so i can check the shipping price, if its something i can afford(the average pay here is 300 euro) i'll gladly ship it to you.

I'm happy to donate the lower-half of an N900 if need be; haven't been able to resolve the connectivity loss error despite trying every trick in the book. I'm holding out hope for an N900 with a damaged screen to hit eBay, but the bottom half of the phone doesn't have much use to me anymore.

No spamming/trolling here, please!

inidrog, I will sent you PM summarizing (as they're a!ready publicly available, in this thread) details about possible pre-order options, shortly.

Bright side of replacement body - you put it there once, no need to remove again (until you want otterbox to protect your custom body, too).

Depending on how serious you are with it, please consider pre-ordering. More details via PM, if interested.

@all
Build-in antenna range tests (and improvements) inside alu body have started. For now, this is done in mockup quasi-body alu box, written entirely by hand in g-codes (=without added features, or even basic functions or polished shape, or...), but we're getting closer and closer every day.

Currently, I'm also trying to master FOSS combo of OpenSCAD + PyCAM, for projecting polished prototypes (and final result). Some time ago, few people asked for way of modelling this case - while CAD->CAM way of designing is really different from your regular 3D model production suite, people wanting to try their strengths by helping in modelling stage may look into pyCAM's accepted filetypes list (for full 3D model, not 2D engraving), and check possibility of modelling and saving results as required model file, by any 3D design tool of your choice.

Simply said, as long as it produces files accepted by pyCam, You're good to go. Just keep in mind, that machine (and pyCam) is 3-axis only - i.e. no "invisible hand" will turn object upside down on machine, when needed. Thus, external and internal side must be designed as at least 2 projects.

If you understand anything from what I've written above ;p and you got basic (or better) 3D moddeling skills, contributions to project are welcome
