Circuit (Eagle) and case (Inkscape) files for the cellphone.
Probably everything except the screen and the battery (and maybe the exact SIM socket) can be found on Digi-Key.
These should align with the insides of the bigger holes mentioned in issues #19 and #21.
These pieces aren't always soldered in exactly the right place, so the tolerance in the holes in the case needs to be looser.
The JST connectors are hard to use and I worry about breaking them or the battery wires.
For example, one with legs (like the microphone).
The leads / legs on the current one are thin and close together and hidden under the component.
For example, the AT90USB1286-AU. That way, you wouldn't need an FTDI header and could use the Mini-USB connector (or a Micro-USB connector) for charging the battery and re-programming the microcontroller....
So we can indicate on-screen whether or not the battery is charging, rather than just hooking up an LED to the pin.
This should enable faster startup by allowing the microcontroller to tell if the module is already started, instead of always resetting it (which is slow).
