We’ve seen all sorts of iPhone wannabes from China, but this SPhone is yours for just 3,999 Yuan — $533 — remarkably expensive for something that seems to be made out of paper. As well as being the first cardboard phone to run 3G, it’s got a few more surprises up its sleeve. Find ‘em out, and catch some more pics, below.
There’s a 3-megapixel camera, infrared, wi-fi and Bluetooth connectivity, as well as a memory card slot and polyphonic ring tones. Just 100 of these beauties are waiting to be snapped up from Taipei company Skea (nope, me neither), although I think* it says that the SPhone will be readily available for the knock-up price of 6,000 Yuan in December.

If you are anything like me, your cell phone takes a beating. If you’re not sitting on it, it’s getting scratched in your pocket, and if it’s not getting scratched you’re dropping it in the toilet. The SaY concept phone may not be able to withstand a good toilet dunking, but it’s rubberized exterior should be able to handle just about anything else you can throw at it. If the SaY was an actual product, it would also feature an angled keypad for better ergonomics, a 4-megapixel camera, and a pair of stereo speakers that are intentionally designed to resemble a dead cartoon character. A nice touch…I think.

Remove the black part, the three screws, and the aluminum case. Disconnect the wire connecting the phone to the case. Also remove the metal cover over the comm. board. This is all the disassembly you have to do. If you feel like being safe, desolder the battery red lead.
The red line is covering the A17 trace. In order to trick the chip into thinking the flash is erased in the correct section, you will need to pull this high. Scrape away at the trace with something like a multimeter probe. Then solder a very thin wire to it. Be very careful. Only scrape away at that solder mask above that one trace. This is the hardest step in the whole process; the rest is cake. Also solder a wire to the 1.8v line. Connect to wire coming from the trace and the wire coming from the 1.8v to your unlock switch. Be careful, you only get one chance to do this right. Read more… »
