@Em0nM4stodon only thing i disagree with here is not wanting a larger screen. i absolutely love being able to see everything at once, knowing exactly what im doing and what i have to do all at a glance, but i get it, at a certain point its just excessive. wont fit in your bag, not comfortable to use, etc etc.

but can i add another thing to the wants list.
RUGGEDNESS. I wpuld much rather take a built to last, completely shatter proof, rubber/grippy phone than a sleek, fragile, hard to grip phone. Im gonna slap a case on that bad boy anyway. No one is EVER going to see your fancy, fragile design. Just build the damn thing like a toughbook, dammit, and stop making unnecessary failure points to force us to go pay for repairs. Like obviously the design is nice. But i want my device to not slip out of my hand like wet soap and shatter into a million tiny pieces and now i have to pay for a 1000 dollar repair.

@Em0nM4stodon oh, also "system applications" that cant be uninstalled through the user GUI, sometimes even at all (usually on android, adb gives you the perms to remove them even if you dont have the option, but ADB is kinda meant for technical users.). and these "system applications" in question are facebook, onedrive, all this bullshit nobody asks for that has every permission all the way on by default
