What one thing would you change on your phone?
It’s Thursday vent time and here’s your chance to share what one thing you don’t like about your phone. It doesn’t matter what phone you’re using or how you use it. The question is, if you could change one single thing about your phone, what would that be and why? It will be interesting to see if we’re all complete individuals in our needs/ wants/ tastes or if many of us start naming the same thing. That would be good for those brainy folks who design phones to be aware of. So let’s hear from you- what would you change and why?

I have the iPhone 3G. I would add a slim physical key pad.
I would swap the decline/answer buttons as a lefty I almost without fail touch decline on every call I get.
I would make changes with the service providers – I hate paying $50-plus every month for basic voice, no data and horrible customer service.
You can make changes to phones all you like, but if the service provider makes using your phone a nightmare, any new technology is just an expensive joke.
(on the iphone)
I have the 3G Iphone too, and would like to see a front camera Added for Ichat
I’d stop the providers locking us out of functionality, eg VZW and the GPS thing and us poor BB Bold users on AT&T who cankt set our wifi to be preferred over 3G like Rogers can
Iphone. Slim slider keyboard +1
I would almost settle for landsape email.
Legally unlocked, bigger fonts in mail and safari, syncing stickies and a camera flash would be nice too. :) (sorry – got carried away).
Make it so I can apply firmware upgrades without losing phone functionality.
I’m on an unlocked iPhone 3G from AT&T, in Canada.
I would change the attitude of US wireless carriers :|
Especially about texting.
(1) a payment plan to get truly unlimited calling (to anyone) and data for a decent monthly price ($50-$100 a month).
(2) making my phone use java instead of BREW or whatever the hell stupid thing it uses.
