Truly Custom Phone

So, I’m trying that ‘build my own custom phone’ thing again. May seem stupid but hey, at least I’m learning something in the process..

The chip I’m planning to power it with is the Marvell PXA310 processor. It’s extremely easy to port code to (ARM11) and I’ve already built the android/kernel to run on it.

It was _not_ difficult to do this.

The other major hurdle is finding somebody who produces a board with that chip. Once I’ve done that I modify a standard candybar phone design (I’m ripping off an iPhone one since there are plenty of CAD’s available.).

I’ll update you on how this goes, and see how many other chips I can port android too. :P
