kimmo: great news! Are you planning on experiment with that next? Having an UART interface on a mobile phone would give new ways to interact with various devices.

I know this OLED display is soon getting crowded 
(as there is already a proximity sensor on the list), but I was wondering about adding a button in some form.
Use case: you have the phone laying on the table screen down/OLED up, you read e.g. the current time, and without lifting the phone you can access some other information on the OLED screen by pushing some button.
Maybe use *two* proximity sensors? If both return 'near' -> turn off OLED, if you cover only one of them you can change info on screen.

Problem here is that button needs somesort gpio expander to get it on the bus.
i think the proximity sensors can be used to detect some easy gestures
wave hand over, and it shows something else for 2 sec.(I noticed that after i changed the oled to white one, it looks now like my N9 and i'm tapping on the backside to wake it up...)

There's also the possibility of using an OLED screen with capacitive digitizer, if such a beast exists

If there's nothing extra special on the other side of the board then it seems it needs just a handful of discretes, nothing too fancy to build. Could be doable. I guess the shown components then are enough to generate the voltages needed by the display unit.
(I vaguely remember reading somebody state that e-ink dispalys need also negative voltages to operate...)

update:
SW Got connected with ofono to get signal about new SMS...
HW First PCB version ordered. Flex had 6 week deliverytime due coming chinese newyear, so had to go with 0.4mm (hope to get them by end of month)
SW Got connected with ofono to get signal about new SMS...
Code:
static const QString service = "org.ofono";
static const QString path = "/ril_0";
static const QString interface = "org.ofono.MessageManager";
static const QString name = "IncomingMessage";
static QDBusConnection conn = QDBusConnection::systemBus();
conn.connect(service, path, interface, name, &toholed, SLOT(handleSMS(const QDBusMessage&)));
