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....
