i have weird idea. could somebody of u ( or maybe some of u together ) make a mobile fone? i am technically more then stupid, cannot even create a thm on my own, but here are so many talentated members, the knowledge is so huge in this forum, could it be done? is it very complicated? we could vote here for different designs ( mods could make an own thread for this project ), imo its not problem to build the fone from different aparts of different brands, what counts, is the result. what are your thoughts?

With two tin-cans and wire between i can make one. But unfortunately with no camera in it 
Good idea 
Anyways.. just kidding, but the idea could maybe be something like a SE phone with Esato logo and colors instead of the original SE ones

Unfortunately we couldn't make a special Esato 'phone' from the bits of others - I bet they'll be copyright issues!
Nice idea, but I suspect it would cost millions to R & D a completely new phone from scratch!
Special Esato phone covers would be a good idea though, and perhaps a good way for Esatonians to pick each other out when out and about?

Sammy_boy: Yes, you´ve right. It would had to be a deal between Esato and SE, which SE off course never would agree to unless they at least got some percents from sale. Something like an exclusive goodwill for this netsite which is promoting SE more than anyone else.. maybe only one tiny little model.. premium stuff
But it could have been a great phone.. and with Esato firmware
awave: sounds like the one we need for this task

I tried this a couple of years ago when we had the Esato Shop up and running.
I tell you; it costs a fortune!!!
Creating the design is simple enough but having them produced is another. The financial risk of producing the covers in small quantities are a gamble with money that not even the most welthy in the mobile industry would dare do.
Imagine the senario:
A design is created. (As saied; simple enough)
A manufacturer for the covers are found but to keep the cost down a certain quantity has to be produced. (Usually the lowest limit for a reduction in price is 100 items)
 has a few different phones with the option of hanging covers on the market; a selection of covers for different phones has to be made. (Not to forget that there is new phones introduced all the time so new covers for new phones has to be made)
Esato has just over 90500 members where the wast majority are not too active in here to be even worth mentioning. (The market is very limited. We are talking about, maybe, 500 potential buyers (That is an optimmisitic guess!) where of 50% will find it too expensive and another 25% won't find it interesting.. That leaves us with 150 buyers with at least 5 different types of phones)
The idea is good but twist it, turn it, do what ever you ant with it, the mathematics of it all just won't add up; This is going to be way too costly.
The ONLY way this is possible to pull through is is some exremly welthy member desides to start throwing money out the window.

Yes, guess it would be to risky. At least people, and (many enough) should have to pay in advance.. 
But again, it would be to expensive.. guess we were just carried away a little, and for a moment.. Dreaming about something fancy that just not everybody in the street has |

My vote goes to member: Plasmadog (pic to follow), he's good I guess . . . finishing touches should be implemented by MixiN - both retired though

surely SE/Nokia/Samsung wouldnt mind us all having a bash at making a phone? its not as if were gonna take over the world is it?
as for copyright issues, no one seemed to have a problem with thingys Moto 8800x modded with a T66?
cant think of his name now, but you know who i mean...

Interesting idea, it would be cool to have a phone with the esato logo on, say, the battery cover.
