I had this crazy idea for a CDM module. Stick in a smart phone.
I contacted some friendly asian folk and they sent me this ....
2.4" QVGA screen
Quad Band
Two Sims
Wifi, Bluetooth
Analog TV
etc.
Bundled with ...
Google/MSN/Java/Yahoo/SKYPE
It's comaptible with the Nokia Devkit so I'm adding
imp/cloud/deeptext/shaneyleaks etc...
$60 for 1 of.
Works well.

It's essentially a clone of the Nokia E5 - I wished they'd cloned the
manual. You can find a Nokia E5 user guide with google.

they won't deal with you as i guess you don't have an import license. (i do.)
they sell iphone4 clones at about the same price too, but this is a
better phone.

Looking at the specs, it comes with only 256MB of RAM; otherwise a rather
reasonable hardware. Would it be possible to have the board with twice the
RAM?

I have this exact thing. Direct from China.
It has a terribly slow interface, heats up
during calls, and runs out of battery during
actual call times, like no other.
It's good if all you care about is the "smart"
part of "smart phone". Not much of a phone.
Stickin' with my Motofone.

The best part is that the cinco phone is basically just a pulse-dialed
system, like rotary phones... but those of us in the target
demographic for Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job haven't had much
opportunity to know those so the joke works better :)
