A while back, a relative of mine gave me an old Motorla MicroTAC, and I recently dug it out of the closet and decided to remove the guts and try to stick a very thin newer GSM phone inside, so I could use the case and use it to make calls, making it look as if I was using the MicroTAC. This is just for gags of course! One thing I noticed when I took the phone apart was that the microphone, ringer, and speaker all had small wires leading to contacts on the circuit board, where they were sautered on. Since I was planning on using the cell phones case as a cover for the newer GSM phone, I figured that I could take apart the new cell phone and remove it's speaker and microphone and use the MicroTAC's for a bigger speaker and so the mic and speaker could be in their original spots. Also, is there a way I could make the ringer ring, so I could make a recording of it and use it as the ringtone? I know this is kind of silly but it would just be funny to have and use.

its not silly, i have a G style handset plugged into my lg rumor

Thanks for the reassurance! Does anyone know anything about cell phone anatomy?

How did you manage to take apart your MicroTAC? I just purchased one from eBay and was planning to implant some sound chips (with recorded messages) behind the digit buttons. But i'm afraid i might break the plastic casing from trying to pry it open.
If anybody else knows how to do this, too, any and all help would be awesome.
