 Phone blocks was published over a month ago, a concept for a phone worth keeping. The goal was to show the world there is a need for a phone that can help reduce waste. Within the first 24 hours we had reached over a million views, and from there the concept continued to spread all over the world. It's creator of the phone blocks. Phone blocks. Phone blocks. Phone blocks. Phone blocks. Phone blocks. Phone blocks. Phone blocks. Phone blocks. Our supporters clearly demonstrated there is a need for a phone worth keeping. It's safe to say we reached our goal. But with all this great support, we want to take it to the next step. We had a meeting with experts to talk about the future of phone blocks, and chatted with interested companies and organisations. One company stood out, Motorola. Motorola made the first mobile phone, over 40 years of experience developing them. It's recently been bought by company devoted to openness and platform thinking. It turns out Motorola's advanced technology and projects innovation team has been working in-house for over a year on a modular phone concept called Project Aura. They seemed like a good fit, so we went there to have a closer look. We realised we had a common vision for a phone platform. Modular, open source, designed to last and made for the entire world. Usually companies develop new products behind closed doors and only show them to the world when they're finished. Motorola has committed to developing their modular phone in the open. They will be listening to the phone blocks community, our suggestions, ideas and what we want from a new kind of phone. Working together from an early stage requires an online place to share all our thoughts and experiences, a place where we can talk openly about the product's development. We would love to build that place. While Motorola and phone blocks will be working together, we also want to be independent and not rely on their funding. So if you'd like to help us, we would welcome your donations. Every penny we raise is being used to keep the phone block servers running and build our online community. And for the developers out there, Motorola will soon be releasing a modular developers kit so that companies, startups and developers can begin prototyping blocks. In the end, we hope to bring you the ultimate phone platform. Please visit phoneblocks.com to show your support. Phone blocks community, Motorola engineers, making stuff.
