I saw a few 'DIY smartphone' sort of projects and decided that I want to give it a shot as well. However, AFAICS they are all based on the Raspberry Pi, which leads to predictably fat devices. I understand that a DIY attempt won't be half as sleek as a commercial offering, but I'd still like it to be atleast a little thinner. What boards would be recommended, keeping that in mind? The RPi Zero seems the right size but seems to require

closed-source software to run.

contrapunctus: whatsup?
<kristianpaul>
i dont recomend, but there are interesting projects raising as c.h.i.p and redphone, they worth taking a look, but you there are always caveats
<kristianpaul>
also you wont be getting anything floss when is about GSM/LTE hardware :-)

hey, kristianpaul , thanks

contrapunctus: yes it does :p
<kristianpaul>
and think about the networks etc..
<contrapunctus>
dat lag :D
<contrapunctus>
kristianpaul: 'networks etc'?

contrapunctus: even if you implement a open base band for your gsm/lte stack
<kristianpaul>
then you need a network
<kristianpaul>
whats what i meant
<contrapunctus>
kristianpaul: hm, I know just about nothing regarding telephony, so I don't get you - I'll read up on those terms, though, thanks.
<kristianpaul>
ah ok
<kristianpaul>
sorry i misundertood the question then
<contrapunctus>
kristianpaul: I suppose I could look into reverse-engineering any closed-source components down the line.
<kristianpaul>
or implement new methods, everything is up to you and you resources
