THIS is the wave of the future, the front screen could look like ANY fone and the fact that u can customize it is soooo bad ass.

That looks dope AF!
But for me honestly, as someone who doesn't even sport a cellphone (So Old School -- So broke), I probably wouldn't buy that. I love the concept, the idea. All customizable parts, face, memory, battery, etc. I appreciate technology and the fact that each day that passes, someone's got a new idea on how to make life a tad bit easier.
I mean if they can get enough people aware and buy it, they could (possibly) be a threat. I seriously love that everything consists of blocks.
So you have this phone, a phone watch by Samsung. It's too much stuff and it's too rich for my blood.
EDIT: After watching that the second go-round, the way they showed taking it apart and putting it in place, it reminded me of the game Tetris.

Great idea.
I still think dropping the amounts of money people do on phones is ridiculous. I'll be buying my first one in the next couple of months. I don't know how often I'll actually use it; mainly for the internet but I'll be buying some cheap POS knowing damn well I'll either lose it here or be held up at gun point for one.

How in the world did we ever use those things? And by we, I mean the 2% of APW'ers that would have been old enough to have them. You kids go along and play now - nothing to see here!

They were pretty straightforward. It was an old Zack Morris - "Saved by the Bell" (please, for the love of ALL THINGS HOLY, you remember Saved by the Bell...) sized phone and it sat between your driver and passenger's seat. It only worked while plugged in to the cigarette lighter and had no battery. I remember paying like $20 bucks for 20 minutes. It really had no use for other than emergencies.
Come on, anybody? T-Marv, you're old as dirt, help me out!

Man, someone joked about those phones on a show last week. I forgot who the comedian was, but he talked about the "Block" phones. (Sadly I never got to sport one) but the comedian said he had one and he always had to cut a convo short under 30 minutes because the phone would get so damn hot to the point it would burn. That was his personal timer. I got a kick out of that. My pops got an old Motorolla phone that comes in a case with the base and all. It plugs into the cigarette lighter of the car. Never used it, and to try and sell it now, it wouldn't be worth a dime. Cool old-school look though! Yes, I am 26 but very old-school. If I had money to burn, I'd check into that being it's a sick innovation but not right now. Also kudos for the "SBTB" shot there, especially the bottom pic!

I remember the big ass phones and my Moms had one but I never used it. Only time I talked on the phone back in the day was to be like "Hey you home cool, I'm coming over" or someone calling to get me to come hang out. Cell phones changed the world.

Fuck......I'm getting old. A little while back I was sitting in the Emergency Room with my daughter, and there was this other kid there. His mom started talking about how the kid likes to collect old phones. The kid walks around the corner comes back and says "Mom come look over here, they have a really old phone it's the kind you put quarters in! How do you use it?" I looked at my fiancee as was like damn, that kid just aged me.

Yeah that is messed up. How the world would trip over their own feet without cellphones. It literally take a while for people to convert back to pre-cells. Contacts are lost, I don't even know my Momma's number without a cellphone anymore. I use to have my numbers memorized and now it's there for us and in a sense, that's a bad thing. We not know who to call if we lost our shit and needed help. Does 911 still work the same? Haha joking..but only KIND of!
