Salvaging an AT&T Prepaid - Alcatel Cingular Flip 2 smartphone - 2 months ago
For the past three days, I have noticed BestBuy has this AT&T Prepaid - Alcatel Cingular Flip 2 with 4GB Memory Prepaid Cell Phone - Dark Gray US $1.99 + sale tax. The phone isn't much. However, for its price under US $2, I was wondering if it is possible to grab one to salvage its parts, i.e. tiny display, keyboard, etc., for the Rock64 device? Anyone?by habibie - Off-Topic

Holly Cow! OfficeDepot is selling this item US $149.99 / each.I think one can buy it from OfficeDepot and then price match it. TBH, I really don't know the price match policy @OfficeDepot. However, if it is a 10% difference, then you will probably get this item for free + a US $5 to pocket?by habibie - Off-Topic

Here is a simple and inexpensive NAS project using this device (don't know what kind of a performance it will deliver) Get an inexpensive AC/DC power adapter with a USB-C™ female port as the power source for this device. You can use an old computer. If you go this route, then you won't need the above power source. However, for the purpose to keep down the operational cost, I wouldby habibie - Off-Topic
