I am in total agreement here. I never got the hang of doing "real stuff" on a phone, and prefer a laptop whenever possible. Phones should be small and portable, rather than trying to replace tablets (which are in turn trying to replace laptops, in turn desktops). The last phone I really liked was the droid razr mini. I also liked the galaxy s3. Please, phone manufacturers: if you hear this, listen. I do not care about large phones. I couldn't care less about "screen-to-body ratio". I don't want a notch or a stupid sliding mechanism. I want a simple, small phone. It should have excellent battery life (don't care about thickness), be sturdy. Calls, texts, pictures, and emails are about all that's necessary, along with occasional web browsing and music playback. Maybe a reader app. That's it. But I guess you can't charge $1,500 for that. Edit: Oh yeah, and leave my headphone jack alone. Seriously.
