mfw it's 990€

For €990 you get JUST a motherboard. You need to cough up one thousand one hundred and forty euros to get a functional phone. Yes, €1,140!

If I can get the parts I can always 3d print the outer shell.

You'll still need to source the keyboard, the hinge, the screen and the battery. You'd be better off buying a used one and gutting that instead but then you'd be competing with the neo900 crowd, meaning the supply probably isn't great.

Aren't they also releasing an upgrade kit?

DESU finding the old ones is easy.

The motherboard IS the upgrade kit. Buying a complete neo900 from them just means they stick it in an old case for you.

its rather a scam. a big one.

I don't think you understand how shitty the quality of 3d printer stuff is.

It can't be more vaporware than the TALOS workstation motherboard.

Dunno, but it sure helped me sell my N900 at a reasonable price.
