I like choice and innovation a lot. My "spare" / "retired" cellphones are now, after distributing several to people in need, is now too old to run this. If I were to mention some points that would be high on my wish list: Radical reliability. Frequent security updates. Rare feature updates. Make the feature set solid to begin with, . There are only so many tasks that are critical on a phone A UI Insane speed and responsiveness, with as much eye candy removed as possible. An email client and SMS messenger modelled after the classic Blackberry OS. I have never even come close to the speed and convenience of Blackberry for email and SMS Esp. with dedicated hardware buttons. (Note this was long before Blackberry on Android or Blackberry Touch. BB was never going to catch up with the iPhone to be an iPhone copy and they should not have tried.) Note: This was in their classic days. I loved it so much I tried hard for a while to start a company producing a copy. Hardware costs kept that from ever going anywhere. (Which I sort of knew but wanted a proper real life change) Then pivoting to Android to make an app that was plugged in at a low enough level to achieve the desired features Ideally combined with a small dock keyboard that attached to te bottom of the phone where the powerplug is. Then a different company made such a dock so we were in talks with them. It proved impossible to get the dock keyboard stable enough for our needs. Eventually we gave up on the Android version. It felt like we were spending far too much time fighting Android instead of developer our goal the email/SMS app. I hope someone else can eventually succeed in this but I think the market for it is small. :( I have a couple of the Planet phones with build in Keyboard. One a "copy" of the Psion5l But again Android is far too dominant in day to day use.
