PhoneBloks - Most amazing stuff I've seen in a while.

Idk, from a business standpoint I see this as virtually useless. The only people who are likely to use this are people who fancy the idea of building their own phone, which is definitely not the majority of people. I could never, ever see a modular / blocky phone overtaking the marketshare of the sleek smartphones that are on the market currently. I still think it's a cool idea though, but I wouldn't buy it.

Your realism really depresses me sometimes...

I live on destroying people's hopes and dreams. It's my life source. Especially when it comes to stuff that is crowdfunded like this. But in reality this has like 0 appeal to most people. Even those saying it's awesome would probably never buy it.

This isn't possible with current technology.

Also, wtf is a 'speed block' anyway? If you change the processor in an electrical device, it will probably need more/less power, and so you'd have to account for the battery 'block'. Also, that 'bluetooth block' looks like it takes up less than a square centimeter in space, but pretty much every bluetooth chipset I've seen is substantially larger.

Furthermore, this isn't even marketable from an economic perspective because there isn't some unified protocol for all these different devices that would allow complete backwards compatibility, so in essence, every time you upgrade one 'block', you'll be upgrading 2 or 3, which, after enough time, would be basically just the same thing as buying a new phone. Also, where the hell is the operating system stored on this device? I see no 'memory block'.

There is a "block" on the top with the same icon as the "storage block", might be RAM and OS.
But yeah, not really possible. Even if it was it wouldn't work out.
