I definitely agree that many of the permissions are far too broad. I'd like to see send SMS silently separate from send SMS with user approval. I guess what I'm advocating here is a combined approach - up front permission notification of android, but more fine grained - activity alert approve/deny from ios - selective permission blocks from bb except the developer can specify which permissions are optional so the apps don't crash when you disable random permissions, they just refuse to start with a clear message. - parameters for some permissions to further narrow the scope like URL masks that you'll access over the internet instead of asking for full net access, etc.
