It looks to me like he just took the cases off and screwed some random crap on.

3 days ago I thought about doing this to my SE. Without all that plastic my 710 could be MUCH smaller.

I have a Treo and I stripped the casing off my basic Nokia and glued beads to the button pads and pieces of colored glass over the LEDs (which are really bright once you remove the number pad). I took a metal band and hooked it around the back to hold the battery down.

I use it a lot more than my PDA. and people do notice it. The phone is considerably thinner outside of its shell, and since the shell isn't much protection it's kinda pointless to have it anyway.

And on a basic phone, the buttons are standard. Never had a problem forgetting which ones do what.

However, I would love to learn how he did the colorized plastic screens. It looks almost like he whittled them out of some semi-malleable plastic material. Love those the springs, too. You can indeed drill into the plastic on the sides without hitting any circuitry. The only drawback to my phone is the screen might crack easier if it's dropped a certain way, so I MUST learn how he did the screen covers! (On the other hand, the basic Nokia has this neat rubberized frame around the exposed screen that should be outside not inside the phone!

My Treo, by the way, sits in a drawer. People really notice this basic Nokia phone (like $50) and it makes me creative and mysterious in their eyes - HAHA!

If you manage to run at 88mph you may find yourself running from dinosaurs across a grassy plain.

I'll admit it's kind cool. But the keypad is butt-ugly.

peta = what comes after tera.

The electrical tape is to keep the batteries in.

I'm disappointed that he didn't incorporate any black electrical tape in his designs.
