Why not build your own? Engadget is reporting that a German startup company, Synapse, is now selling custom built Android phones. You have your choice of 3G or 4G radios, camera size, even memory configuration. This sounds like a pretty awesome idea. Also sporting Android 2.2, a 4 inch SuperAMOLED screen, and a 1Ghz processor this device sounds like a winner. My only concern would be support and software updates. Definitely something I plan on keeping my eye on as things progress. I will go to great lengths to avoid buying a carrier branded phone. :) Does a custom built device tickle anyone else's fancy?</p>
