brownymasterd0m3rno not at all you just seem to want to see this idea burn in a fire when its a interesting topic of what a phone could be like you just completely deny any creative credit to the designer id like to see you come up with something nearly as creative or "innovative" this guy never wanted any money just people to share his idea and all you do is deny and recognition where its needed
Holy run-on sentence. I think phones that had interchangeable parts like a computer motherboard could be great, which is a step down from what he's trying to do. That's fine. It's just a bit absurd to announce lego phones without researching or addressing design issues for something like that.
so we agree
i guess the difference is i took the video at face value as a concept with no actual engineer design work put into it
and you took it as an announcement of a future product, perhaps this is how it was intended but I didn't see it that way
it is certainly very impractical, maybe even impossible as shown, but when im at work, me and my coworkers take turns bouncing ideas that will never work and it gets our brains turning in different directions and we eventually come up with a solid design

it's a good idea.
unfortunately, companies want to sell an entire phone instead of just one piece so they can make more money.

Obviously there's a lot of parts to this idea that suck and make no sense.
However, the PC equivalent of a Phone (e.g. can't literally freely change it however you want, but can upgrade specific parts as you need them yeah) would be neat...maybe.

Not quite the same thing. Interesting that moto is still going ahead with it.

And I think that was exactly the guy's intention in the first place. Such a cool viral video without any call to action at all wasn't meant to get a fundraiser going to develop the project, he just wanted the idea to spread. And got a contract with motorola, look at that.

Was really sceptical about it at first but now that motorola is going ahead with this I'm really excited. These are the right people to make this happen. If moto sticks with the hardware and google with the software this is going to be revolutionary imo. Better get some patents before apple steals it.
