I’m not good at writing articles, so if anybody’s willing to improve the article here’s a list of some things that can be used as references.

About the {{incomplete}} template: the article seems to be pretty complete (although not detailed, but that's another issue), especially for a concept that is still in the design phase. I would say the main thing that's missing is the notably successful social media campaign, including:

In regards to citation number 6, /info/en/?search=Phonebloks#cite_note-Engadget-6 the statement says, "Some analysts say that Phonebloks has many issues which will not allow it to succeed." but the Engadget article seems to be just the writer's personal feelings about whether the phone will work or not, rather than a list of potential issues. I don't know if this is misleading enough to warrant removal, so i thought i would bring it up here. Thoughts? -- Tenebrius.neith ( talk) 18:57, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
what also missing is that I came up with that exact same ideer a year earlier only on a broader scale,"29 jul. 2012 lego and computer parts is a good match. In fact the whole computer should be clickable like lego blocks.
my concept was about building computers based on components clickable as lego, In my eyes a smart phone is just another computer just smaller and more portable. So what this guy did was take my concept of a clickable computer restrickt it to just smartphones and call it his own! in my previous edit i added 2 links to pages on the G+ site inwich i discuss my concept of a computer made up of clickable blocks, I see Mark Arsten (an administrator here on wikipedea) has removed those links just 2 min after posting, under the pretext of it being vandalism? If you want wikipedea to reflect the truth it should metion that I came up with the concept first. I just didnt make a website and rendered some pics but thats just about a couple of hours work. I guess he did that for a school project anyhow. Marc I ask you politely to put back the links that proof i came up with the concept first. And if you think somethings wrong with the links please let me know. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ysvry ( talk • contribs) 17:53, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
Our team developed such concept in 2004-2005:) But here in Ukraine and Russia there is no investors who may be interested in this. And our concept was much earlier than Modu — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.177.25.20 ( talk) 12:46, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
What the importance of an idea of a design student without technology background? He only made a cool youtube clip and website. That's all. No company, no money, no technical protocol and of course no prototype. Uziel302 ( talk) 10:28, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
I don't think they should be merged, I have heard of phoneblocks and discussed it with people over coffee etc - never heard of the other one. I came here looking for phoneblocks :) - Anna — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.26.52.42 ( talk) 08:23, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
I don't think the two should be merged, as the articles are still different in topic/nature. I heard of phoneblocks before I heard of Project Ara, and phoneblocks was the more well known out of the two. - Anton — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.189.47.71 ( talk) 16:24, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
I agree with everyone saying they should not be merged. Yes, the phoneblocks concept has no engineering behind it, no material investment, no product. But the phoneblocks team has obviously had a huge impact with their ideas and promotion. Further, these are actually two distinct projects with two slightly different goals. Phoneblocks supports, encourages, and promotes all efforts at increased modularity, not just the google project.
One day Project Ara and other projects will eclipse phoneblocks, but even then this page should be kept since phoneblocks will have been important to the history of modular tech in mobile devices. 172.56.39.51 ( talk) 05:14, 29 October 2014 (UTC)
You should merge it with Phonebloks though. Fix101 ( talk) 21:14, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
