The "open hardware" phone project that's had the most interest

This is bogus.  It is feasible.  Just not quite in the way those people
ask for it.  E.g. you wouldn't have just a CPU module, and instead you'd
have a module that combines the CPU with many other things.  So the
whole phone would be made up of very few modules: a case, a screen,
a battery, and one or two "electronics" modules.

And it would be bulkier and more expensive than a non-modular phone,
of course.

I for one would be willing to pay twice as much for such a phone, even
if it's twice as thick.
