is it that hard to give us a stable OS? a fast cpu and ram and more ram? good touch screen (i like the way the iphone screen worked). an accelerometer w/ g-sensor (that is unlocked to apps (again iphone got this right, whats wrong lg?? come on!!) wifi, gps, a normal usb (mini or micro), & at least 1gig internal mem and a micro st slot, and let me multitask all of my apps at the same time, i dont want to quit a game so i can look up something on the internet or take a call, that why we have task managers, to manage tasks.
and make it affordable!!
and don't limit the apps like apple (thank god for cydia)
and come on at&t quit filling up the memory with things i will never use, let me do that.
oh yeah, and dont forget to allow me to view flash web pages, and not just youtube. i use wixi.com, but the mobile version sucks. and Orb Live. i want to access all of my media form home for free (w/data plan)
sorry about the rant, but maybe with a lot of luck someone with some pull will stumble across this and will create a great phone.
by the way windows sucks, sorry to say it but anyone who expected windows to make a good mobile OS must have been high, when is the last time windows got it right?? never they have been playing catch up to apple forever. They should call there next os "Windows Crash" and "WMCrash" because thats all my computer and phone do is "crash"
would it be against copyright laws to take an iphone 3gs setup, add a full QWERTY keyboard (slide out or flip) change the OS to Android, slightly change the look and button layout and market it as a new phone?
Make us a great phone and put it on At&t!!

Why not put your questions to htc direct?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683957
Who is we ? " We " all need different things from our phone. And " we " all don't want to pay $1000 for a phone with super everything.
" ...and make it affordable ?......" That is like saying ..." hey car companies, why can't you make a car that goes 200 mph, runs on electricity, gets a thousand hours per charge, made from all titanium , works totally on voice commands , oh yeah and it has to be affordable, about 15K. "
Why doesn't HTC make a phone like that ? It would be obnoxiously expensive to put all that technology into one phone, unless they put a super new battery in it, the current batteries will never run all those features. And no one wants to pay for what it would cost to sell a phone like that.
Like cars, you pick out the features you want, find a phone that has most of those features at a price you can afford, and then spend the next year whining about all the things your phone can't do.
ATT will never get anything good in fear it would compete with the iPhone. To make a phone with all those features, would cost a fortune and some stuff isn't for everyone. That's why we have "affordable" smartphones like the Smart, Wildfire, Tattoo, etc and more extravagant phones like the HD2, Nexus, Desire, etc.
because if this does happen, companies can't make more cell phones sell because the one cellphone has everything YOU need.... and everyone's needs are different, like how I don't like the HTC HD2's large screen...
denco7: I would never pay $1000 for a phone. I wont even pay $150 for a phone with a 2 year contract. even if it had every thing. yes i understand that a lot of work goes in to making these phone but its not like the people making the phone get the big bucks. they get there regular pay check. and with technology today parts are cheap. like to replace the screen on my old iphone it cost me $20 on ebay, so that means it probable cost less than $5 to make if not less. it probable cost less than $25 in parts to make an iphone, plus the $8 per hour it cost to employ someone to watch the computer do all of the work.
and i expect a smart phone to do everything i want it to do hardware wise, now i understand that i might have to buy apps to use all the fetchers, but i dont want to be limited especially if the phone has the hardware but its locked so that you cant use it for other functions. like the lg expo. why put a g-sensor in a phone and not allow it to be used to the fullest extent? all its good for is rotating the screen, now thats dumb.
why should i have to pick a lesser phone and choose what options are more impotent than others when picking a phone?? just give them all to me and if i dont want to use them then i dont use them.
I used every feather on my iphone 3g. I use the sh!t out of my phones, and i expect them to run fast. the biggest thing i didnt like about the stock os on the iphone was it didnt multi-task but i found a fix to that (backgrounder & multifl0w)
most of the problems with phones is that they limit the hardware with the OS. and thats just dumb.
I find it funny how everyone says this would be too "expensive." Everything OP named is what "smartphones" SHOULD be at right now.
1gb ram is MAYBE 20 dollars... for buyers! (I agree, cell phone RAM would probably be more expensive.)
1gb internal storage? Again, they have cheap mp3 players the size of a nickel with this for 5 dollars. That would be NOTHING.
iPhone (well, i use iPod touch) does have an actually nice touchscreen - again which is actually already on the market. However, I'll limit Apple to my iPod touch. iPhone isn't touching ANY Android phone. =]
A hardware keyboard should be a "duh." I have a myTouch, and love it. However, I feel buyers remorse often because I just didn't get a keyboard. However, it doesn't add 400 dollars just for a hard keyboard.
Flash is on its way - which has nothing to do with the hardware.
I have to say, OP is right. Smartphones are really lacking what they're actually capable of. And, with a service plan, price might be like 300 dollars (if the manufacturer wasn't money hungry). I'd pay 300 dollars for a phone like that with a service plan. I'd pay 800 to a grand for one with no service plan. Why? Have any of you looked at the price of that p.o.s. iPad? I could go buy a laptop 2x better than the iPad WITH TOUCHSCREEN for the amount of a 64 gb (which is NOTHING) iPad. Probably 5 times better for one without touchscreen.
Of course, this is just my opinion. Also, I have to admit, they are advancing faster and faster. Even with the possibility that they could exist now... I see them actually existing VERY soon.
Edit: As PurpleLlamaLover said, though, I dount AT&T will ever get a phone better than the iPhone because A. It's not like it would even be noticed and B. What he said, they don't want to compete with it. Especially if its cheaper. Which it probably would be.

while there is room for growth on the smartphones, there are great things to be said about alot of the same phones. every user has different needs and wants and i would find it difficult to try and predict what would satisfy every consumer. the list of desirables outlined by jw_mahoney81 pretty much describe my tp2 and hd2. i still dont understand why windows devices crash. i have however heard that technology is only as good as the user.
LOL you did not just spell features like teachers with an f!
Anyway, implausible.
I would like to get some opinion from you guys....
I am a startup developing a new kind of mobile device that combines a phone and tablet - putting a 7" screen on a less than 5" phone body. (It is not like the Galaxy Note, where the size is fixed.)
SO when you just want to make calls, check SMS and emails, just use the "phone mode" with a 4"+ screen.
When you want to surf web, watch videos/photos, transform it into a 7"-screen tablet.
Now my question is about the potential market for this device, as it seems that no company is creating a device like this, I am worried if there's no market for it.
a) For those of you carrying two devices (a phone and a tablet), are you feeling a bit inconvenient, annd would you like to have this device?
b) For those of you carrying only a phone, would you like to have a bigger screen, perhaps 7", while retaining the same portability?
c) Would you still buy a 10" tablet after you have this device? (assuming you already have a laptop)
Your help will be very much appreciated!
the first thing that came to mind upon reading this post is the asus padfone.
i do carry the 2 devices (S2 + TF101), and IMO it isn't really a big inconvenience, thus i might not be that interested. Unless it comes with a unique feature / selling point?
cheers.
if the tablet could make calls and i could pair a Bluetooth headset to it, i would get it. maybe it would stop me from texting and driving if it was 10 inch
I see no market for it. Some will buy it for what it is but not enough to make profit or even break even. Try focussing resources on let's say the body of the Droid Razr with an edge to edge screen, custom ROM that gets rid of the touch buttons of the bottom of the device so that can be more room for screen. I would buy something like that.
Or how about a smart-watch that can sync with any tablet to become a secondary display.

Thanks for your reply.
There are some aspects of Padfone that we don't think it will be a market success:
1. You still need to carry the 10" screen, and it is not as portable as a 4+" phone 2. When the phone is inside tablet, you'll need a headset to receive and make calls
Anyway our product is not in compete with padfone, although we have something in common - to combine devices from different categories. The key difference, besides the size, is that we emphasize on PORTABILITY; while they probably emphasize on versatile performance.
Our device is small and light and easily slip into pocket, yet comes with a beautiful 7" screen.
BTW, we think the combination of devices (our device + laptop/ultrabook) is more reasonable than (Padfone + laptop/ultrabook), because Padfone size is already very similar to laptop, and almost everyone already has a laptop.

Do you mean Sony's Tablet P?
However, since there is a bezel between the two screens, it cannot be seen as a one screen tablet when unfolded. In fact this is one of the main reason why it gets poor reviews and market reactions (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-03-21/what-was-sony-thinking-with-tablet-p-rich-jaroslovsky.html). The bezel is simply annoying.
Our startup have found a way to remove the bezel.
Yes people now used to carry around many gadgets, because currently we have no choice
I love the idea of the padfone...4 inch phone during the day, 10 inch phone when at home.
If you have something to offer please let me know, as of know i am seriously looking at the padfone to be my next phone.

Tablet s Phone
I really dont understand why Tablets dont incorporate phones, I own a Dell Streak Mini 5, (best phone Ive ever owned) also a sony tablet s.
Both brilliant devices but most of the pros are duplicated by one or the other,
Dell streak, android device, good general purpose but screen too small for word processing or watching vids, not to mention the small onscreen keybord.
Tablet s, android device, good for all things android but no phone.
I dont follow the logic that there would be no market for a tablet device with a phone, I carry a phone and I carry a tablet I would far rather only carry one, i.e. the tablet with a phone in it, I use a blue tooth earpiece for all my phone/music/audio books so its not as if Ive got it stuck to my ear all the time, in fact the phone never comes out unless i want to use an app.
So the answer for me is a resounding YES device of that nature.
This is a great idea. Today's smartphones have all this horsepower but what good is it if the tiny screens make it a chore to get anything done. I'm having difficulty imagining how one would go about incorporating an additional big screen on a phone, but if you can do a clean job at it, I believe it will be success. By clean, I mean the screens should be good quality either glass or matte, not some flimsy folding ****.

Yes we are not using folding screens.
I bought a Samsung Galaxy Note exactly for this reason.
The screen is big enough for non-phone usage but small
enough to fit inside a pocket to carry around like you would
carry around a phone. It's already 5.4" so 7" is not that much
larger, you'd better have a real compelling reason for your
device in order to convince people who would otherwise
pick the Note.
Cool Idea
I don't know of your resource base, but have you seen the new translucent material they have demoed for new tablets. That would make your product something that would stand apart. They demoed the material at one of the electronic shows this year.

No, we are using standard touchscreens...
I think you will have a harder time distinguishing yourself from the padfone since it is out now.
I've just got myself a new tablet...loving the thing but at the same time knowing that in time it will be obsolete. But what will improve? Octo-core cpu, super sensitive screen, maybe solar screen that charges the tab... BUT... How would it be if we could buy a shell in whatever size you prefer.. and then buy the latest screen /battery /cpu to fit inside. You could customise with your preferred shell type (bamboo, titanium, aluminium, carbon fibre etc) and it would last you until it breaks.
So is it a good idea or would you rather buy your tablet pre-packaged and ready to go?!
Sent from my GT-P6800 using xda app-developers app
I wrote a long post about why this is not practical and wouldn't give a good product here.
It's really just not worth it. Mobile technology operates in a very small space, even compared to laptops - there's just not room for "upgrade to the newest battery" or "newest CPU" without the tablet being huge - and you'll still have to realise that the bridge for that CPU is going to become obsolete probably as fast as the CPU itself would have - and battery technology will change.
The tiny runs of "latest screens" are going to be more expensive than mass-market ones. And who is to say that you could even use them with the GPU and PSU present in the device ? What if you had to replace those ? What are you really saving ? It's a sort of DIY satisfaction, but you'd be over-paying and having an expensive hobby that wouldn't have the latest technology for more than if you just replaced and recycled - and one that wouldn't get Android updates most likely ever (and who is going to essentially make you a custom ROM for the hardware you selected ? That's going to add to the cost)
Desktops do what they do because they have space and the set-up to allow much to be changed and have a LOT of freedom.
Tablets aren't like desktops - for better and worse.

I already backed it. Unbelievably excited.
Back it for 1 unit. One thing now that worries me. Silicon Anode battery. Didn't know what is it and did a quick search and found that it's not a mature tech yet. Hope the battery can hold it's recycle charges. If not hopefully the battery can be changes easily.

I say this should become the official Ubuntu Edge discussion thread
I bet a lot of people would like to have the phone once it is out, if that happens, and then pay thousands of dollars to get one on ebay, instead of supporting the fund now and make it actually happen.
Because technology wise, this phone is really nice. All components state of the art or even better. For example the sapphire crystal glass screen. Should be much better than gorilla glass. Seiko watches use it for instance.
Hope this will work out with the crowd funding.

Well, if each person, who wants to have Edge, donates 600$ (which seems to be the price of the final product), then Canonical needs only 53400 people to collect 32.000.000$ and start the production. I say this is pretty much real, Ubuntu fans alone cpuld fund the whole sum, let alone Android users who are interested in both Ubuntu Touch and the Ubuntu Edge, which would make about double the number.
So my bet is that Canonical will get the needed money before Christmas
Will they bring out the phone if the crowd funding fails? There is only 29 days left now on the clock.
Wow, they already got almost 3.600.000$ =-O
I would hope that some companies donate towards it. Considering how many are using their software, it only seems fair...
I wish I had some spare change to back one, as this is seriously the kind of smartphone I'd be interested in. Running a normal desktop Linux OS with both a mobile gui for the phone screen and a desktop gui for docking it. That would be an awesome device.
At the rate things are going now, they're not going to get the funds they need. The rate of funding slowed down a lot once time ran out on the $600 option. It would be a shame too.

New perks available with lower prices.
If Edge becomes reality, then Ubuntu will beat Microsoft at unifying mobile & desktop experience, but on the more productive side. Microsoft offers the same experience only for those people who don't use Desktop anymore on PC and don't mind losing the real multitasking environment as well as give up desktop programs.
Edge will have the best advantage possible, as according to Canonical it will run everything that Ubuntu runs. The specs are top notch.
My only regret is that I'll have the cash to back it only around mid-August so I would lose the $600 mark
But Microsoft will still rule the enterprise sector, as all the business programs are made for Windows only
IF motorola, samsung, and apple want to void our warranty and back door our phones at every oppurtunity, then why do we even keep buying them from them?
Has anyone bought a washer or dryer lately? Have you noticed that you only get 3 -6 years out of one of these new peices of junk while your grandma is still using the one she bought in 1969? Well a little group of folks got tired of the manufatures games, tired of them making crap that BREAKS so they could charge you again in a few years to replace it. This group of people designed and had manufatured a washer/dryer combo named ISE and they slapped a 30 year warranty on them.
WHY cant we do the same thing? Why cant we as a community, design the best damn phone ever made? Design it in such a way that its cusomtizable, Upgradable, expandable. We design lets say just 1 every 14 months. Instead of buying a new phone, when superamoled gets replaced by micro plasma... why dont you just buy a micro plasma screen for 140 bucks and slap in the new screen and firmware? all open source.
Id much rather invest 1000 bucks into something i can keep for 5 years, and upraged once a year for a few hundred bucks, than have to worry about some e-fuse popping or "not being allowed" to do what we want with our own property.
so here is my process.. I figure we need some hardware level guys to design the board, spec the chips, and somehow figure out how to make this thing upgradable .. ( im thinking 3 - 4 seperate "mother boards, that you would replace sections of like "modules" when the processor is out dated, replace the processor module, same for NFC Chip, video card, etc..)
then we need some software guys put us the best, fastest, most vanilla version of Android (with art) that we can get,
then we need someone to make it pretty.. Im a mechanical engineer, with access to 3d cad software, desiging the case, and plastic injection is NOT a problem. also making to upgrable to aluminum is not a problem.
last, we need business folks and web designers. someone to sell this project to the world and raise money the project, and maybe even get us a kick starter.
Its about time the big 3 worry about the 1.
That's a great idea, but manufacturing and distributing a device like a modern smart phone takes a sizable chunk of money. There was a crowd funding campaign for an Ubuntu phone last summer. The target price needed just for the thousands that supported the project was $32 million. There were even large contributors like Bloomberg that supported the project. At last, not even half of the goal was reached. (There was a few million though.)
I'm all for the project you're proposing, but we would need at least site-wide support.

from a manufacturing standpoint..its doable. the money is all in the design. i feel 100% confident that the people on this site can make it happen. maybe a few outsiders if we dont have exactly the right people. that 32 million is absolutely RIDICULOUS.
design one off mother boad modules ( and im being more than extreme here ) prototypes 15k per module 4-5 modules per phone. lets say 5, thats 75k
display, buttons, jacks, connectors , 10k
molds for plastic container - 45k
im justing going to stop there because i think you can see how far it is away from 32million bucks. and thats all prototype stuff. mass production would be fractions of a penny on the dollar.
This is do-able. we just need the people willing to do it..
Your thinking just as much as project ARA is, hopefully we will get some kind of big nice warranty on one of these things. android might be open source but not everything is open sourced yet, i think these might be some of the reasons why we might not get a larger warranty span. people HAVE to have the best of the best phones and they will pay for these phones because america is stupid and we will continue to pay for the best, hopefully project ara wont be very complicated with swapping screens and battery's and i imagine CPU swapping will be even worse.

its a little harder because phone cpus are made to fit into tiny places and not overheat (thats why we are able to overclock without worry of blowing our phone up) like if we had the option to put as much ram as we want and whatever cpu we would have to have sodering skills and most people dont have that.
