Unfortunately, there's only one in existence!

I'm afraid this project has been done many times by many people. SparkFun has even made a (now retired) kit. https://www.sparkfun.com/products/retired/287

Oh no :P

I know other such conversions exist, I meant I only made one. I did it because it was fun, though, so I don't mind that there are others.

My mistake. I misunderstood the meaning of your other comments.

You've probably got yourself a pretty sweet "niche" business there. I can imagine they'd sell at a pretty reasonable pace from http://thinkgeek.com or something.

Hi, I love your phone :)

I'd also love to have one. My friend here in Prague I think would be able to help with the design in order to keep the bell - it MUST be possible.

Also a Kickstarter could be great which I have experience in also. I will contact you :)
