Patent suggests swappable Windows Phone accessories

We're not too sure how this could all work in a consumer device, and we're not even sure that Microsoft is a company that could market such a device, given its history with hardware. But, it's certainly interesting. You guys have any ideas for practical uses?

hey thats a good idea for phone manufacturers for android lol, they should of thought of this first... btw i wonder what those other interchangeable parts are, like the one that looks like it has a piece of film on it, or the one with the picture of a battery on it?

That with the film is second display, and the one with the battery ... is additional battery :)

Reminds me of the LG Versa on Verizon from like two years ago.

except done much better, the versa had a detachable leather case that had a keyboard in it, it was poor quality and high price or it felt that way to me

if i'm not impressed with ICS i'll hold out hopes that a Windows Phone with this design comes to Verizon even if it's not 4G but maybe there'll be a 4G module. how cool would that be?

Are you dumb? I meant the accessory not the phone because in a big house like mine I can lose things easily...

it's just as easy to lose the phone is what he's saying, phones like the HP Veer would be much easier to lose and you'd have to pay much more money to replace it.

Windows Phones continue to try to put the whole package together. This is a fantastic idea.

Apple, hope you are taking notes, this is innovation.
