Can anyone tell me where I can get service manuals for various models
of cellular phones?  (Preferably some kind of bookstore, etc.,
although I suspect I'll have to go directly to the manufacturers.  In
that case, addresses/phone numbers would be appreciated, as well as
pricing.)

I need these for my own nefarious purposes. :-) Actually, not so
nefarious -- I want to see which, if any, of the cellular phones on
the market can easily be modified for the 902-928 MHz amateur band.
(PROM burners count as "easily" -- I don't expect that any of them
come with repeater offsets. :-)

Reply by mail, please; if interest warrants, I'll summarize the
responses later.

Thanks in advance,
