EVO Sync/Charge cradle with Bluetooth charger too!

Pictures! [last 7]

Anyways, I made it. Took an old phone [since I am a fiber optic phone installer] and started modding. I used a motorola H620 bluetooth to mod the handset. It is pretty well done, I liked the volume control it had, was also a good place for the on/off button. It charges through the old port for the cord, I moved the cord to another hole I drilled, and cut it with a weed whacker... make it more insane... Once that was done, I gutted the phone, which was missing the button pad and trim around it, and put in a 7 port usb hub. That made it easy to charge them both, and sync the phone. It needs a bit more work, but it only cost about $10 to make, and the phone fits in with the case still on it.

It works great, usd it overnight to charge both, got my MP3 player in the hub too, it also charged and transferred my new songs. USB hard drive overloads it though, all well... Made about 20 calls with bluetooth too, no one has trouble hearing me so thats cool.

Have you seen a good one yet? One with a 5 port USB hub, charging for your bluetooth too? :P once i get my HDMI cable it will have that too. Plus, it fits in here with my case on it still.

try? Its fully functional,I spent 2 hours on the "Phone" with sprint since they jacked up my plan again and it worked great, no fuzz since the severed line is the bluetooth antenna. Also my EVO is on that charging now for the night, along with my BT handset. No trying, I might not be too great a phone hacker, but I love a good hadware mod.

Replying to my own thread... I know, its evil...New pictures though, now with second battery charging!!

I took those with the evo. Also, I upholstered the inside with black fabric to make it nicer.

Too funny! I thought this was a joke at first, but then I started reading.. very creative and a great idea. Mind making me one?
