I don't want a dumb phone, I want a reliable PDA that doesn't hallucinate it's smarter than me. Older android on a current hardware could've been the best but it's not supported anymore by major devs. As a consumer, I don't understand why that's the case. I'm not interested in their new design choice or whatever they market it with while bloating the shit out of it, I want a low-powered portable PC to edit docs and browsing the web without eating through 8gb and 6000mah like it's nothing.

Some new competiton would be nice too. I remember when companies like Palm made their own competent OS. I wouldn't even mind if Windows mobile made a reappareance. What do people even need anymore except a versatile browser and the ability to play games?
Communication, GPS, web browsing, camera, occasional use as a flashlight, media player, and a multifunction clock. And yeah that's about it.
And make them with a high-rez multi-touch screen for old screens sucked ass at typing.
Guys just pay for a good app-blocking app. You don't have to get an entirely new phone to do this. They work great.
