Though i hate clamshells personally, Samurai has the point. The mobile has to be compact enough but at the same time performing the smartphone deeds...
@Samurai, something like Nokia N76!? except for the dimensions and maybe looks(subjective)
For me, Nokia N80 was a turn-on
but the weight factor put me off... i like sliders that are designed just the right way with smartphone feel...
My dream phone should have the following:
1) Slider format, 64K/256K doesnt matter in small screens
2) Quad-Band, EDGE, 3G
3) Wi-Fi b/g, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP support
4) MP3 player
5) 2MP camera with auto-focus
6) preferably smartphone in Linux
And am still waiting for such a mobile..

2) Length: < 90mm | Width < 40mm | Height < 15mm
3) Should be a smartphone, have good camera.
4) HTML browsing, GPS, MP3 player, Outlook synced phonebook, MP3 ringtones.
5) Microsoft VPN, Microsoft Office (Outlook, Word), PDF reader, Gmail reader
6) WiFi, Bluetooth, Edge (also 3G when service becomes available)
7) Big screen, say 32x70mm screen, landscape mode for browsing, photos, etc. The external screen can be very small just showing essential info like incoming caller id.
As you see I am not too demanding, this will probably happen within couple of years. There are phones that already have all these features but not in the form factor I want. But in future I am going to continue picking phones that match my lifestyle rather than just features.
So, what would your dream mobile phone have and why? |
