    It's for a mod for a mouse, if that tells you anything. I'll PM you my address. Thanks.

    One thing you may want to consider is donating your old phones to a battered women's shelter. Not a lot of people know this, but a cell phone without carrier subscription can still get 911, as it is required by law in all 50 states. Many battered women's services give these old cell phones to victims of domestic violence so they always have a way to call 911.

    It's also a nice, cheap way to have emergency roadside phone service for loved ones without a normal cell phone. They can charge it, turn it off and keep it in their glove box in case of breakdown, and always havea way to call for help in an emergency.

    Just an idea.

    Are you trying to make the rumble mouse mod?
    Invention, my dear friends, is 93% perspiration, 6% electricity, 4% evaporation, and 2% butterscotch ripple.

    That's a great idea, I don't know how many of them have charge cables, but if any do I'll drop them off at the women's center. For the ones without chargers, up for grabs. I'll get a picture of them soon and post them here so people who want one can choose from the pic and I'll send it out.

    Pretty much, yeah. After seeing the Cyclops mouse come out so nice, I decided I'd get back into it. I was getting frustrated in that the only rumbe motor I had came out of a dead Xbox controller, and it was huge - I'd have to cut a hole just so that it would stick out, and then have to bondo it back together - a solution I really didn't like. I've been looking for a dead phone for a long time, and finally decided to just ask here.

    Glad I did. lol

    The RumbleMotors are really cool in phones. You can make them race along the floor! I had a box of broken Alcatel 311's which have a few in them. But I 'm in NZ! Call out if you want one, it would probably go in an envelope ok.
