MyPhone

myPhone is a TuxPhone
The TuxPhone proved the basic concept of a completely open phone (COP) with open software and open hardware, with all specifications of all the components freely available.


 * Software : See the open mobile software page.


 * OpenCell : OpenCell is being built by a team at Florida Tech, and we are sharing ideas and encouragement, but their design is based on a different set of hardware components.

myPhone can be built from the following components, in any combination


 * Case : a customizable case that can be produced on a 3D printer. A first attempt at a bezel and an initial myPhone case have been designed using Alibre Express and printed at Techshop.


 * LCD Touch Screen : Sharp 4.3" 480x272 pixels as used in the Sony PSP, with a Hantouch touchscreen overlay added.
 * OpenCell are using a Sharp LS037 which is portrait format 3.7" 480x640 including a touchscreen, but is a lot more expensive.
 * There is also a higher resolution 4.3" at 800x480 that is being investigated.


 * CPU : Gumstix PXA270 CPU and I/O cards, dimensioned DXF specs


 * GSM Modem and optional GPS : GSMstix - Siemens MC75 GSM/EDGE and ublox Global Positioning System Module or Telit GM862 Module


 * Codec : NXP UCB1400 audio CODEC with integrated touch screen controller and power management monitor


 * WiFi/Bluetooth : Embeddedworks Infineon Embedded Bluetooth 2 802.11b/g module


 * Accelerometer : Freescale MMA7260QT ?


 * Battery : many options, but one high capacity possibility is 1700mAh from Treo 700
