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.

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
