All Finished...

Not being able to charge the Nokia without dismantling the GPO phone to get to the back of it was a bit of a problem. I thought that perhaps I could put a USB on the back of the phone and somehow plug this into the back of the Nokia.

I ordered a USB to Nokia charger lead but it didn't work :(

Whilst I was trying this an obvious thing struck me - why not just chop the original Nokia charger cable in half, put the 2mm charger in the Nokia, have a socket in the back of the phone and put a 'plug' on the charger cable.

Anyway this all works and the project is complete!

Next version on its way.....


EDIT: I'm not happy with the monstrous battery underneath the phone, and I have found that when I use it I tend to turn it on, show people what it is capable of, they then lose interest as they're not geeky enough, I then turn the phone off. The longest I've had it powered on is about 1 hour. This is easily achievable with the 6AA batteries + voltage regulator which fit inside the GPO phone casing.
