This would be a great idea but for one thing: there's a misconception here that phone manufacturers want you to have just the one phone. They don't. It's all about planned obsolescence, so that they can FORCE you to upgrade if you want the latest phone. So why would they let you spend, say twenty dollars on a component when they could compel you to spend hundreds on a brand new phone?
In theory, great. In the real world, never gonna catch on. Too much greed and too little scope for phone manufacturers to squeeze as much money as possible out of the consumer. Think if someone came up with something like this for PCs or laptops that Apple, Microsft, Dell etc would all be rushing to sign up? You're basically trying to curtail their profits. This thing will be dead in the water, not from lack of interest, but from Interest, ie big business concerns who want to make more money, not less.
A sad truth.
