The wait to get your hands on the PuzzlePhone modular smartphone will soon be over as Circular Devices gets ready to launch their crowd sourcing campaign on Indiegogo starting November 3, 2015.

It has been two years since Dave Hakkens published the Phonebloks video on YouTube, and forever since fans have been eagerly waiting the arrival of a modular smartphone. We were first introduced to the PuzzlePhone back in 2013 when company CEO Alejandro Santacreu first published a concept of his device on YouTube. Like Dave, Alejandro believed in a sustainable device that was built to last more than 12 months. With the PuzzlePhone the company aims to maximize “the product life cycle and minimizes the creation of e-waste by developing modular and easily upgradeable hardware for its mobile devices.”

“Circular Devices Ltd. is the Finnish company developing PuzzlePhone, the first modular smartphone that is easily reparable and upgradeable based on the PuzzlePhone Compatible Open Standard. Crowdfunding resources will be used to enable manufacturing of PuzzlePhone – not for R&D! Full-throttle R&D began on September 1, 2015, thanks to EU support and Oulu brains. PuzzlePhone has been backed by Grant4Com, Haltian Oy (the most successful Nokia spin-off ever), Muottituote Oy (housing manufacturing), and AT&S Austria (PCB manufacturing). Our partner grid ensures final assembly in Finland, meaning PuzzlePhone may proudly say Made in Finland. We also work with Fraunhofer IZM in R&D to ensure best practices in sustainable design, guaranteeing robust, reliable electronic systems.”
