Damn this is pritty awesome.....

Yea saw that some time ago, it's very awesome!

Guys from the netherlands, we do have smart people here :D

I saw it earlier also, and its very nice idea

Some people have some good ideas.

Awesome idea, I'd buy one for sure. Kinda says to me "Leggo" which I loved playing with as a kid.

Worked with many people from down there and liked em all :thumbsup

Interesting idea as most of us want our phone to do certain things and not others.

overpowered vibrator blocks and ribbed rubber cases are going to make these all the rage

Interesting concept indeed, however that is far outside the "norm" of what we are used to.

Would definitely be cool to have, almost like a PC that you can just upgrade the parts on... but then it comes down to parts and to do a big upgrade would cost more then buying a whole new model

Is there a block that has that cute Apple logo on it? That's what most people care about in a phone.

Can I stand in line for it?

i dont think phoneblocks wil decline if apple wanted to make parts for it...

Coolio yo

Girls under the age of 16 would constantly upgrade the front-facing camera module to improve their selfies.

There's the market to aim for.

I got dibs on inventing the Cock Block :)

Totally stupid idea that will fail immediately. The problem isn't component failure, its obsolescence. Technology becomes obsolete because competing companies make better products for less that people want to buy.

It is also alot cheaper, simpler, faster, to stamp chips with multiple components already on it such as wifi, bluetooth, cpu, gpu, ram, gyro, etc. The stupid idea proposed in this video has dozens of different components connected... how? by connectors on a board? yeah right. Even if it did work it would be dead slow, subject to endless "noise" of tricky connections. (Anyone remember pressing IC's tighter into sockets when their IBM XT Clones suddenly wouldn't turn on?

Plus, good luck getting the big companies to agree on a standard for all of these components. No way in hell would this happen and even if they did, one of them would try to own it and license it to the others.

imho, too good to be true..
i ll wait and see if this comes to life.

nice idea btw.

Every MFG has different processes.you would have to be a super tech to repair every single aspect of a phone.cheaper to just replace

I am not sure if that could be done technologically. Any experts?

I don't think this will work. Unlike PCs phones are much more competitive and they don't cost enough for this to be practical. This is a niche market but I don't think the ROI is there.

Most consumers are interested in buying something that works, that they don't have to put too much thought in to and that meets their immediate needs.

This is where this idea fails and the same reason it won't be successful.

I don't see iOS on such a device in the future, so that takes away a massive chunk of users right from day one.
