This one was pretty cool. I was in a supportive role (literally telling our super genius programmer that he can do it & bouncing ideas back and forth during the process) because I don't know all this jazz. My work bff Kole Slaw basically did the entire thing himself, from figuring out where to get the phones to breaking them and repackaging them and rerouting shit. We didn't realize Mashable would be so entertained that they would do a teardown, or else we would have locked the keypad. Honestly, getting something torn down by Mashable is probably one of the coolest things EVER, however the oldschool higher-ups at my company refuse to realize this. They think it's bad that they figured out and shared our slightly-ghetto, though incredibly inexpensive solution to what the client wanted.

IMO, if you make something that interests people enough to tear the fucker down, you've made something good.

We're currently working on doing something else, in which I'm doing all the UI and design for. I'll share when it's not a secret.

I look forward to seeing it. That phone-hack was sweet. Nice work to all involved
