Ara gets more interesting by the week - although I'm less than convinced by the lens (?) bulge on these Toshiba modules - thinking that the resulting phone is going to look a big naff.

I have to say I'm watching this one with interest, consider these are Gen 1 I think we will some less than ordinary designs until we see more iterations and alternatives from competitors.

I agree with crossy, and if it does need the extra depth then why not build in some kind of lens cover to help protect the lens from scratches etc... especially the £325 version

Hope all the module manufacturers don't all stick their logos on the back and use ever-so-slightly different shades of white plastic. It'd be enough to put me right off Project Patchwork.

Heh can just imagine the back of your phone being a series of different company logos.

I really wouldn't expect it to be like that, this is just a tech demo after all

Well if we extrapolate using this information then at east the phone will go like the clappers!!
