Give me back my physical keyboard, and I'll be happy alongside better battery life (or removable batteries).

The last thing I want is a phone I can mistake for a table mat when I'm tired, which I feel is how phones are going. What's the new average screen size now? 27" or is that next year's model?

Meh, phisical keyboards are a pain if you think how much hardware failure you add. At least now if you know what you are doing, you can keep alive a phone for a decade with custom roms

I just want a persistent number row. There's plenty of room. Why can't I have that, Apple? What possible benefit is there to anyone, of you holding that back?

I miss the formfactor of my Nokia E7....

My favourite keyboard was on my BlackBerry Bold 2.(9700 I think was the model number). The keys were shaped in a way that made touch typing an absolute breeze with the perfect amount of tactile feedback.

In the Blackberry range, the 9700 is damn cool, I have set up many of those with email through a Blackberry server, the one thing I missed was dedicated buttons for the Swedish characters ÅÄÖ, which the E7 has depending on the layout.

I believe the E7 is the coolest smartphone design ever, it's like a mini laptop, combine the design of the E7 with apps like Putty touch and a Linux server with screen irssi and you will look like a hacker...

Screen irssi... That's something I have not heard in a long time.
