It's a phone, just not a cell phone. But I must admit, that I also was a little disappointed to see that it wasn't a cell phone.

I've been wanting a simple, open source phone (a cell phone that is) that allows me to easily hook into events with some code. Like for example, when a phone call comes in, I want to be able to run certain logic based on what number is calling etc.



That'd be great. I'm curious, what kind of logic? Is it things ordinary non-programmers might also find useful?


Well, to write the code you'd need some knowledge of programming. But some top of my head random example would be, if I miss a call from the tax agency, add an item to my todo list to call the tax agency back. Or if a number that I don't have in my contacts, and it starts with my area code, ring with a specific ring tone, so I know I should probably answer. Or for example you could have logic when a text with certain content from a certain person is received.


LTE is already in the works.
