I want to build my own Android phone. Where do I start?
zokier: Qualcomm seems to have some nice 3G products that are supposedly compatible with Android. Some drivers are included with Android, but you may need to write some of your own.But seriously, you don't just walk into Mordor, nor do you just build a phone. Building a basic 2G phone that does only voice and nothing else probably would be doable by a hobbyist, but building modern 3G phone capable of running Android is waaay harder. And a lot more expensive too. I'd be surprised if you can actually get your hands on 3G chips without buying thousands of them.
