[Gta04-owner] No gta-04 available

[Onen]

Hi,

a though crossed my mind. Would that make sense, to create the inner 
part of the phone, but compatible with an existing case. For example, 
let's say you make a phone compatible with case and screen of an iphone 
1, or 2, or any other phone which had great success. This could provide 
a lot of spare parts for little cost.

Does that make any sense?
