This the ZeroPhone newsletter repository for https://zerophone.github.io/newsletter/

This is a mobile phone that:

• First and foremost, will be a well-working reliable phone
• Is as open-source as possible while also being cheap
• Can be assembled and repaired independently
• Is easy to get parts for
• Doesn't have apps with privacy concerns
• Allows to write your own apps in Python

Currently, it costs about 50$ in parts if you buy all the parts yourself, with parts available from eBay, TaoBao and other places - most of the phone can be assembled with just a soldering iron. During the upcoming crowdfunding, kits will be available, as well as a small batch of fully-assembled phones. User interface is written using Python, and is slowly being morphed into a lightweight phone-tailored UI framework.
