Building your own wireless communications device isn't for the faint of heart, or the law-abiding - the FCC tends to prefer placing its own stamp of approval on devices that utilize US airwaves, making a homegrown mobile phone an unlikely proposition. That didn't stop a team at the MIT Media Lab from creating such a DIY kit, however. Meet the Do-It-Yourself Cellphone. This wood-based mobile rig, while it's currently in the prototype phase (where it may indefinitely remain), would eventually ship with a circuit board, control pad, a fairly beefy antenna and a monochrome LCD.
Engadget, DIY Cellphone has the footprint of an ice cream sandwich, definitely doesn't run ICS (hands-on)
