I recently fixed my own phone and when opening i realised its only built of a few things

Battery-20
Chassis-15
Screen-15
Main mobile phone bit - Does anyone know?
Case-10
Buttons-1
And microphone, power input suply-15
oh and a speaker-5

thats around 80 quid! without the main mobile fone chip, but does anyone know how much they cost.


Because it might be cheaper to put your own fone together.

No warranty, if it goes wrong, you've gotta fix it yourself...

The cost of making the phone in the factory ... and is in fact quite an accurate guess for the price.

Why do you think so many companies now give you free phones with contracts??? Because it doesn't cost them as much as they have you believe.

So, yeah, you probably could make a phone cheaper than buying it new ... but you won't get one for as little as a tenner, as manufactures buy their items in bulk, getting big discounts.

Save yourself the time and hassle, just buy a new phone :) You'll only save a little bit more, but loose the back-up from the phone company.

Most mobile phones cost about £10 to manufacture, but what's this got to do with Web Design, PC, Internet or Freeola?
