A number of manufacturers produce modular components suitable for embedded systems. Some of these components are suitable for a hobbyist to put together a modular phone. This page is intended as a starting-point for building an OpenMoko compatible phone.
The major problem with this approach is that the resultant phone tends to be larger than a normal phone.
This is because though they may be designed to be compact, internal connectors add lots of volume compared to a PCB, where everything can be in one unit.
The prices for the Goliath daughter cards are realeased on monday 16th July 2007, and should be around $100USD, giving a total of around $450+, which compares with the Neo1973 at $450.
Capabilities wise, this compares well with the Neo - there is no accelerated graphics and the screen is smaller, but otherwise specs are similar.
All the modules listed have Linux kernel modules supplied by their manufacture.
