The time of the #Phone Contest has passed almost a half since it was launched on instructables<\/a>, during this time, more and more people have participated in the event to share us their fascinating ideas about ‘What A Phone Could Look Like If You Are Making One For Your Own<\/strong>‘. Among them, there are\u00a0makers, hackers, engineers, designers and artists. We’ve been\u00a0being impressed by the creative, or even crazy ideas they\u00a0have showed us.<\/p>\n

Some of them explicitly presented us a sketch of the phone that they’ve been thinking in mind – how it looks like and what it is capable of. Some of them kindly shared us the phones they DIYed or hacked. In both way they’ve proved that people are enthusiastic about exploring something new that is beyond the existing\u00a0phones.<\/p>\n

Now let’s have a look at some of the\u00a0projects we find interesting from the Phone Contest<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

Old phone + Arduino = Phonoduino<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Phonoduino\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The image here looks a bit mess, \u00a0but this is truly an impressive DIY phone project made with an old Nokia 1100\u00a0and an\u00a0Arduino Mega. The Nokia 1100 acts as a GSM module, and combined with\u00a0\u00a0the Arduino Mega, it is able to send message, make calls, or even further,\u00a0receive DTMF signal and control anything remotely. So it can be used for home automation, home security and monitoring, bird feeder or anything that the phone use would think of.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The project actually has got\u00a0us\u00a0thinking – Phones are getting smarter, and somehow looks more similar, while more and more people are seeking for a phone that is exactly tailored to their own functional and aesthetic preference. So people keep trying all kinds of ways to DIY a phone that perfectly suits their own needs. \u00a0However, we can tell from this Phonoduino project, DIY a phone is not easy. What if, there is a phone, that is designed, not only to be used as a phone, but also to be used to\u00a0further DIY a phone. Just like a Lego toys, you can either\u00a0have the one you bought, or break it into pieces and rebuild another toy. How do you think about it? \u00a0If you think the same way, follow us at our #rethinkphone page<\/a> and tell us your ideas about phones.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A magic phone that smells pretty good<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>
\nThis DIY phone totally changed the way of the notification of a phone. Rather than using notifications in ways of vibration and\u00a0ringtone this magic phone has a spray device mounted on the top of the phone, it\u00a0squirts the mixture of perfume and water, or whatever liquid you pre-loaded in the 3D printed container to to notify the phone user there is an incoming call or messages. \u00a0Wouldn’t it be nice to\u00a0sniff your favorite smell when there is a call?<\/p>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

Don’t let your Creative Ideas<\/span> slip away!\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The\u00a0Phone Contest<\/a>\u00a0is still ongoing, if you are holding\u00a0some cool ideas about #rethinkphone, do not let it slip away<\/span> !<\/strong><\/span> Please do tell\u00a0us on the\u00a0Phone Contest<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0win the grand prizes!<\/p>\n
