Where's the phone blok?

Currently it's only an idea, but I believe it could be done. You will be able to create your personal smartphone from blocks, only those you need. Need a stronger battery but don't need a camera? OK, just add a larger battery block. And so on.

Keep dreaming, it's never going to happen. Companies make a lot of money off overpricing things like internal memory etc
$150 for 16GB internal memory is terrible compared to $15 for a micro sd card  :)

It could work, but the phones will be ugly and only geeks may buy.

The Dutch inventor hasn't even requested patent on this idea. He said that yesterday on the Dutch television. He doesn't want to make a huge profit with it, he just wants to get rid of the huge electronical waste in the world.

Very cool, but wouldnt Apple buy this up? or some huge phone company?

Just to crush it out of existence.

I guess it hasnt gotten enough attention to their eyes.

This was in the social media for a while ..
I just love the concept . Not all people like the  phone there bundle up with
But with phone blocks it's like a PC that you can adjust to your liking..
Looking  forward to this In the future

Looks kind of boring-looking. Like a gray brick. Maybe if they could put it in a fancy case like they do with gaming PCs today and the insides could consist of blocks instead. That way it would be just like our current computers except in miniaturized form.

 Great concept and excellent video explaining it.  People want to customize and this allows them to do just that.  There's no reason why there can't be open standards for platform hardware development like with personal computers.  When people build PC's they can choose a motherboard in an ATX form factor from any number of companies, why shouldn't the same be true for a smart phone?

Looks cool but I'm not sure if it'll work as good as they hope.
