As a matter of fact, I do have a pretty nice soldering iron, but now it is in
my storage unit, which is far, far away from here.
It would be a total badass feat, though, to be able to build a phone oneself.
You have put the thought in my head.

OK! Warm up your soldering iron:
http://skysedge.us/unsmartphones/rotarycellphone_3g/
available from the Brookhaven National Lab engineer Justine Haupt
that built the first one. Backstory here:
http://justine-haupt.com/rotarycellphone/
But it seems not to be a _complete_ kit. There's a list of stuff
you need to supply on your own. But, there does not seem to be
any unobtainium in the list.
It sure would be a WOW! factor at the next cocktail party I go to.
But, WAIT!!! I don't go to cocktail parties....

I was thinking about building my own phone from scrap parts. Something
like the Siemens C55, just with an arduino + Sim800 module + 18650 :) > Don't use a smartphone, that's

Won't spill the fun, but the problem might not disappear. I have
here a Samsng Galaxy note something with linageos. It can't do
usb-masstorage-device.
I wonder if something like a PinePhone would be more cooperative --
or a phone with Replicant installed, or other free/libre OS? I've
been considering one of those options, because otherwise I believe
that I will move back to a landline.
