The
blok
concept
was
obviously
invented
by
somebody
who
isn't
an
electrical
engineer.
All
those
internal
connectors
will
basically
ruin
the
idea
of
a
phone
-
it
would
be
fragile,
expensive,
and
cumbersome.

That covers the main replacements - want to switch between keyboard and no-keyboard? Get a slide-out backplate or a blackberry-style screen/case. Want a beefy camera? Get a beefy camera backplate. Want a newer processor/RAM? Get new motherboardbox. Cracked screen or otherwise-smashed-up-body? Replace the screen/body, keep your motherboardbox/battery/etc.

Then we've got only two new detachable connections, the screen/motherboardbox port, and the backplate/gutsbox port. And some holes or button-extenders on the body to expose the USB port and volume/on-off buttons on the motherboardbox.

We just need a standardized size/orientation/layout of the motherboard, body/screen, battery, and backplate. Then phones would be as modular and reusable and green as users would ever actually *need*.
