I'm not happy with the lack of physical buttons, I had a Nokia N86, and I miss several features a lot:
- slide-to-answer
- one-handed operation for calling with no need to look at the phone
- the camera button (something Windows Phone does right)

for some time I thought the perfect form factor would be a slimmer Blackberry Torch with Android:

However, I think I'm a very small minority.
One group I do think isn't being adequately addressed is nearsighted 50 years-old (baby boomers in the U.S.?)
My relatives in that age group struggle to use their latest phones (both iPhones and Android flagships) because of the tiny font sizes, and the lack of physical buttons hurts as well - I have an LG G2 mini, and the power button in the back and software buttons are a no-no for them.
That age group still has the money and motivation to buy a high-tech phone, and aren't well-served by the market.
Edit: however, you have to be very careful in your message, old people don't like to be called old :) or think of themselves as "old".
- msh 12y agoI would also like a torch formfactor with android. The closest I have come was my old experia pro.
