  • Every day throw away millions of electronic devices, because they get old and are worn out.

  • But usually it is only one of the components that causes the problem.

  • The rest of the device works fine, but is needesly thrown away.

  • Simply because electronic devices are not designed to last.

  • This makes electronic waste one of the fastest growing waste streams in the world.

  • And our phone is one of the bigest causes.

  • So this is a new kind of phone.

  • It's made of blocks.

  • Detachable blocks.

  • They are all connected to the base.

  • And the base connects everything together.

  • Electrical signals are transferred through the pins.

  • And two small screws lock everything in place.

  • So if for instance your phone is getting a litte slow, you can just upgrade the block that affects the speed.

  • Or if something breaks you can easily replace it with a new one.

  • Or update it with the latest version.

  • An other great thing about this is, you can customise your phone

  • Let say this is your phone and you do everything in the cloud. Why not replace your storage blok for a bigger battery blok?

  • If you're like this guy and love to take pictures, why not upgrade your camera.

  • Or if you don't care about about anything of this stuff, you can keep it simple. Get a bigger speaker.

  • You can choose the Bloks that you want.

  • Support the brands you like.

  • Or even development your own Bloks!

  • Phonebloks is build on an open platform.

  • Where companies work together to create the best phone in the world.

  • To setup this platform we need to get the right people and companies involved.

  • It will only get started if there is enough interest in a phone that is worth keeping.

  • So this is the plan.

  • To show them that there is interest in this phone, we need your voice.

  • You can donate your social reach on our website.

  • We will gather as much people as possible.

  • On the 29th of October we will send out a blast.

  • All at the same time.

  • Spreading all your voices to show the world there is a need for a phone worth keeping.

  • The more people involved, the bigger the impact.

  • Please visit www.phonebloks.com to raise your voice and spread the word.

  • Phonebloks - a phone worth keeping

Every day throw away millions of electronic devices, because they get old and are worn out.
