FLOW is like the Ikea bookshelf of Android phones

“You know, I could build a better phone than this.” We’ve probably all uttered something to that effect in our past in a fit of frustrated rage — some more than others — but are you ready to put your money where your mouth is? If so, you can now part with some cash and cobble together a bunch of modules to create a do-it-yourself Android phone called FLOW — just be aware that it’s probably not going to solve your troubles. At nearly 0 for the bare minimum hardware, you’re not saving any money over a phone expertly manufactured by an Asian OEM, and no offense, sport, but something tells us the OEM’s craftsmanship is in a different league. Putting away the practical concerns for a moment, the project seems like it’d be a blast — so the only trick is finding someone willing to use a phone that looks like this clunky and geeky day in and day out. G1 owners, care to step forward?
