Re: [Trisquel-users] Poll: Interest in a usable free software friendly phone?

[zwick]

In a time when network connectivity via cell phone is becoming ubiquitous, I  
see the benefits of having a completely free cell phone. It is important to  
realize that a free cell phone doesn't free you from the grasp of wireless  
carriers (pun intended). You are still at the mercy of "Big TeleCom." A  
project like OpenBTS is working to resolve that issue though.

I have been working on making an Arduino based cell phone for a few months  
now. The device I have made is ugly looking (and about the size of an  
original Nintendo Gameboy) but is completely free (both hardware and  
software) and can place/receive phone calls and SMS messages.
I am now in the process of re-working my singleton code base into a few  
disjoint libraries for ease-of-use in other projects. The code is hosted on  
Github at https://github.com/ZachWick/ArduPhone and is/will be dual-licensed  
under the MIT and GPLv3 licenses.
