This is googles version of the phonebloks concept from 2014 called Project Ara. It is set to come out next month  

I've been following this too. I'm super stoked about it! To say the least I'm very interested as to how it'll perform with semi-standard modules given it will be running the android OS. Watch out graal!?  

Is looking ugly as **** apart of it as well?  

Probably going to be heavy as hell too  

That looks cool. Not sure if it will hold up to many expectations though. But hey, if anyone has the funds to do it, it's Google.  

Will definitely buy 2 of them, with 20 damn battery modules for hiking trips.

Any pre-orders yet?  

Looks pretty neat. How are the add-ons distributed though?  

Can you provide the source of it being released next month?

I believe there will be an ara store where manufacturers will be able to sell their modules.  

This looks interesting, but the extra parts/widget things would be easily lost. I don't think the design looks good, hopefully that can be changed?

What are you talking about? It's amazing! I couldn't think of a better way to attach modules, electromagnetic attachments are actually a great idea.

Do you know how Desktops' parts are assembled? It's kinda-of an ugly mess.

I meant the parts that would not be on the phone, almost like the extra charms that would not be on a charm bracelet.
I can't say I do  

Looks interesting.
I imagine that people will be complaining that they lost their modules, though. Theft of modules would be pretty easy, too.
The idea is pretty interesting, though.  

I can already predict that this won't go anywhere. They're gonna have a pretty damn small target market.

I'm not sure about. I could see a lot of people liking the idea of just upgrading your camera if you want a better camera instead of buying a whole new phone, or if you crack your phone and you dont have a warranty, just get a new screen (maybe a higher resolution one, too!). Could save people a buttload of money, and money makes the world go round. But yeah I agree with the sentiment shared here that they need to make them look prettier.
