I'm really glad someone is still working on this. Yeah, it's a crazy plan, but that doesn't mean it couldn't work.

I'm in a similar spot right now being a grad student with no income, so I couldn't donate much, but I could donate a little like one of my n900s with a broken usb port and worn out keys (probably a last resort for you). It's a real pita working with those things, (think multiple battery swaps daily) but they do work.
I did get in touch but I haven't had any response.

Thanks for your offer but I'd prefer to accept one of the other offers with a USB port as I've no means of external charging. I've had no time recently to work on the project so I'd rather wait until things ease up a little bit than accept somebody's kind donation and then do nothing with it. I may end up buying one locally to avoid shipping and import charges.

I have decided I will be going ahead with my crazy plan as it seems to be the best way forward.
