All I need is for manufacturers to admit that they are a fucking commodity now, stop trying to justify stock prices 1000 times more than they will ever earn, and "do a Brother Laser Printer" of a phone that just accepts that it is what it is and isn't trying to be the next fucking bubble.
The closest I've found is the Motorola 53g I've got and it's kind of fine and I'm eyeing up a Motorola 55g for when it breaks but there is no hurry.
