Phonebloks - a great concept idea for smartphones
Wednesday, September 11, 2013
Dutch designer Dave Hakkens came up with an at least interesting idea aimed at revolutionizing the mobile phone industry, with Phonebloks - a cellphone made of changeable parts, and he needs your help to turn it into reality.

OH MY DRAGONS THIS IS AMAZING. I would buy this but hopefully there would be cases for them and hopefully they aren't too big but still HOW COOL IS THIS LIKE HOLY CHICKENS
Great Idea!
About time we can have a phone that's easy to text with and only does calls and texts with a great battery life and no other bull$hit. It should be the next nokia. Origanal nokia's were great and everyone got by with them. I'm shure we were all proud of our nokia phones. No regrets
brilliant concept. if i were able to produce investment capital, this would be the perfect project. the elimination of waste is something that will drive sales to a place other devices only dream of...and lets not forget to mention that customizability is a way for each end user to have a device that is specifically taylored to them.
Technically a good idea.
Even better said: It's actually how it should be. More ecological, clearer, enduring, scalable, efficient, sustaining,...
But... and a big one. This is not the world we're living in. Businesse thrive on things that brake, otherwise the profit dry's out. Why do cars break down after 10 years or so? Well this is not a technical question, i can tell you that.
Even more, do you know that the first modern light bulbs where so robustly made that that could burn for more than 50 years without breaking? the lighting producnets (like philips) were almost victim of their own succes. So they focused their R&D on making the lamp go broke after already a few thousand hours. Well that's thinking about the profit of the future. In other words sucking out the money of the people, or paying to much for the quality you as a customer are not getting.
So to say, it's not about the technical standards and possibilities it's about profit also being a brake on evolution and durability.

Profits would be a driving factor, but also because the blocks are interchangeable you could have people upgrading to the next level of blocks as time goes on. Better batter level, 4g to 5g, new technology that comes out, etc. Also I'm sure parts would break and would need replacing.
Then if this gets popular enough, the company could develop other products with the same idea. Imagine a customizable car that can change its seats or radio easily to the ones you want. You could custom order a car just for yourself over the internet. There is a lot of possibility and potential for profit here.
wow ! I am absolutely on board with this concept.
I would say that this is the greatest idea i have seen in the last five years. I really hope that this concept comes to the market and soon.
I think this is a great idea
OH MY GLOB!this is amazing and i think this could really revolutionize the way technology is today. XD
какая его цена?
would really love this but it is a bit heavy by the looks

If it's not too expensive, I'll get one :D
massive idea ;) well done
Genius :D
Awesome idea!
AWESOME IDEA!! I will definitely but one! I hope this concept gets released
Looove the idea!!
As a electronic nerd i find this idea one of the best ideas ever when it comes to phones! my only question is with it being open source will the OS be more like Linux or Android?
The idea isreally nice, but PLEASE dont use that design on the real phone
lets go with it it is a good idea i want one!!!
I would 100% buy that phone and customise and love this phone from the first day! Epic idea!

This is amazing! I would own this! Such a great idea! Please make this happen!
It will be a great innovation.I really want it.keep it up.I am waiting for it.
Obviously this would be a great benefit to consumers. As a result, WE collectively would be very interested in the concept. Who doesn't want more choices? I hope they get this funded.
Supporter here as well :)
Great idea,totally support it
Amazing (:
sounds great!
The idea is good, but the technical difficulties to make this is even greater. It is just impossible to use a wire to transfer data or use it to supply the power for the phone. Being a art designer is not enough to plan a phone, you have to understand the current technical limits. i would said its impossible to make this in this size for 10+years.
I want one!!!!!
Oh yes I would most definitely buy one of these. This is the best thing I have ever seen!!
Supporter here id love that
wow thats ba
we nead to make it
bild it.
This is the best idea for a smartphone ever, I think that this will revolutionize phones in the future.
Great idea! The fact that you can customize the phone so that it works best for your needs is a great concept. I do hope this project comes forth to the markets.
Sunt Roman si il vreau = I'm a romanian dude and I want this phone! :)
You should try to join verizon, after all they do have hood service, and you can ho on cheap plans as is.
This would be amazingly sick, but it looks a little big :) hope progress is made!!

company won't want this kind of tech. to keep your phone is to no income for them or less.
awesome idea. power to the people!
Hope you become success to rease this concept
This is freaking amazing just what i wanted for all these years after the first smartphone! hope this would go through and hope people can enjoy what is the best option for them and i hope you will make a tablet version of this too!!
Very good idea!
im from Jamaica how soon can i pre-order ps this question is for the companies that need to take the idea....yow it a duh road ova yah suh hury up n shub out di fone ute
i can't find the good website to put my "voice"!
Mate u goin to b a billion air..... mint idea!!!
i think this is an idea that whill change history of phones,if it woud be posiblle to rallize.
i woud love to have such a phone like this...
all of the companies woud have someting of this...
ist like iphone just that it isnt aplle whos haveing all phe profit...:D
PS:where is the site to give my voice?...
Great idea and should be done but points to concider; 1) will the blocks on the back fall off? 2) how much will the cost 3) how much will the phone cost as this will only need to be bought once 4) not too convinced on the size or shape and 5) it looks kinda ugly.
Putting this aside, its an amazing idea and 1 phone will be sold but in each individuals personal preference.
Brilliant idea, but I doubt the large companies would embrace it. They prefer to make a new phone each ear, so that you'll *want* to throw away your old one. And they'll prefer to make things different, so that you'll need to choose between either of them...
i like this non status ego friendly adaptable machiene.
Great idea
I see this s a technical troll and still it does not cover blocks recycling issue.
GOOD JOB. WILL BUY FOR SURE. WORTH IT. MAKE IT REALITY.
That's an a great idea, good luck guys, make it reality, i'll buy it for shure. like this idea very much !!!)
Yea.. this is a great idea.
But again this video talks about all phone companies working together. That will never happen either. That wpuld mean sharing the wealth. And have you noticed apple? Its the same as the car. Every 6 weeks they come out with a new phone design that's the exact same as the last one.
Making only one phone that will last will make everyone of our phone developers go bankrupt cause we wont be spending our money every so often on the newest model.
This is revolutionary. But it wont happen.

Especially apple.
It's a great idea, but is it realy possible?
You should talk to Google or Redbull they support great ideas an this is the greater greatest ideas ever seen in my life.
It's a great idea, but is it realy possible?
Waterproof? Shockproof?
Concept brilliant, though to have though reality is will be expensive in comparison to other phones and will not be able to keep up with the competition!
My background is in computers and It - it annoys me how Intel and AMD are constantly changing the amount of sockets and bridges in the cpu market. Yet they do so because changing such factors drastically effects performance. Further more to have a ultra high bandwidth to every slot in phone enabling a complete re-shaping of phone would be expensive. Its why in computer terms we have pci express 16 times slots as well as 1 times slots! A 1 times slot card would work in a higher bandwidth.....
I am not saying give up on the idea. Rather reality is a less flexible version of the phone I have another suggestion why not try to build a refugee city which has borders and fences yes but represents more a town then a prison-cell. Where Australians can get paid to move in or work within the boundaries of the town, with schools to teach English! Where refugee's can even choose to stay on once citizen ship is obtained and work and live but then are free to move in or out of the town!
Lets get creative with solutions! I think the problem is not with the kids but its how could we therefor implement non-detition of children in a fair and just way, with out creating a whole new set of sub problems be it the removal of kids from family, or sexiest legislation that favor mothers or discrimination against those who do not have kids! I for one am not sure of the solution! What we have is Terrible yet I am not sure what a better system maybe the way forward.
This is great! Please make this phone to make our lives better!
You have a point. But parts would still break and wear out. Only instead of replacing the whole phone for a cracked screen or dead battery you only have to replace those parts. When your car breaks down or needs a new part do you go out and buy a new car? (some people may), but most people would just buy new breaks or a new bumper.
Shut up and take my money
Shut up and take my money
This is the best idea I've seen since the invention of the cellphone! I hope it will push through and get reality! I'l buy it
Amazing concept! Lets get this ball rolling. Phone companies get enough $$$ from monthly services...give us a break on the phones please.
I want it! Great idea :)
how can we invest in this , help us that will help you.
Way to go
i want this so badly
this would be the greatest phone ever!
I buy one that way I could have a phone that had solar panel.
Great idea hope its not to expensive to buy an to maintain tbh
Hi guys,
It is an great idea to not consume more than what we need.
But! The official webside is not operating and 100% bcs of the cellphone producer. Like hacking the websides.
Be attention on it for better world.
I want one! My friends want one! LET PHONE BLOCKS THRIVE!!!
It should be a block with IOS another with Andorid and so on. That way you would be able to change the software as you like. Exelent ideea, I would definitely buy it.
I love this idea, and i would see myself buying it if it was for sale.
If i could give you one piece of advice is keep trying , because its a great idea.
Have you considered going on a show like a dragons den or shark tank or what ever like that it could really give you some exposure and you could get some investors .
Best of luck!
I WANT IT!!!
stupid concept
Good idea!! Or I should say"smart" idea (:
Lol
OMG that's so cool :D They should defo make these phones :) :D
Coolest phone this is the way it should go upgrade it any way you want awesome I want one
stupid idea, parts will still break, still having e-waste, the "base" is impossible to design with current technology, meh,.... just an art student daydreaming sketching phones trying to be an Engineer ....
Super idea! I want it!!!
wow! good idea i wont this phone to be build !!!
this is a great idea
mais c'est comme un lego . comme c'est séduisant comme idée.
lets do this!!!
rly,rly,rly,rly,rly,rly, REALLY!!!! WANT THIS!!!!!
it is the best phone so far want it rly rly rly rly ryl rly Badly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The solution is to keep the phone longer for example there still are iphone 2 s working to this day , you dont need to make another model each year. But people are brainwashed by marketing and social status , and they will buy a new phone even if their current one is allmost the same as the new one...
