#2Looking for someone who can breathe new life into old phones, like Singer does with some Porsche models.

I'd kill for an EV 914.
Although I also loved the sound of that little engine.

#4Sound incredible !
I like the word "simply" in this sentence
> i will simply be able to recreate the baseboard with the new 4G module, a microcontroller, and some audio processing and power management circuitry and it will be able to seamlessly fit inside the phone.
Seems like a bigger project than the author would let us think ! But I hope to see the PCB soon !

#5I was hoping to find a part 2, but since part 1 was written over 2 years ago I guess there's not much chance of that...

Yeah, not really a complete story is it.

#7Wonder if this would be possible for my Kindle DX 3G? It has no Wi-Fi but I still hold onto it.

#8The Quectel BG95 is a similar modem chip. If you want to add low-bandwidth connectivity in a project you can just get a BG95 or this Simcom as a devkit and e.g. a 1NCE SIM card, hook up the UART pins to your microcontroller and you're off to go. (You may need a logic level converter in between)

While I really like the idea, I think we're still too far out tech wise to make it a reality in a way that it would live up to the dream. EVs of today are really heavy and even with a fairly small range, I fear the weight from the batteries would butcher any kind of driving experience for a car like that. In time though, I hope we get plenty of old cars retrofitted to be EVs as the tech becomes lighter, cheaper and more standardized.

#10I recenly bought a Nokia 6300, not as a main mobile phone but because it includes Tethering, it is very light, changeable battery, practical as a mobile hotspot. It also has WhatsApp though.
