Describe your ultimate smartphone...

So the even bigger question is, why won't any of the manufacturers ever make our perfect phones? Either today or tomorrow?

We know they CAN but they don't.

Because there is no way to produce the perfect phone for the masses. Everyone has different tastes. Everything in a marketplace is a compromise. There isn't a perfect car, computer, gun, etc. Too costly...

My Incredible 2 is close enough to perfect for me. I love it. Could always use more battery life.

A thinner iPhone 4S with a 4" OLED display.

Yeah, that's about it.

All of the above people are mentioning... plus runs on Virgin Mobile and doesn't cost the equivalent of my firstborn. 😉

Would be nice if we can integrate the features of a smartphone onto our watches and eye glasses, as well as being tied to a touch based LCD display once we enter the vehicle. All this done transparently without requiring user to tell the system when it's on foot or in a vehicle, or at home. Seamless integration.

So I guess we'll never see a high-end phone with a 4" screen?

Some of the stuff people are listing in this thread are idiotic. Glass front and back? Do you have a phone that'll crack if wear tight pants. Moto Razr thin with no hump? Hold a Razr and say that, its too thin to hold comfortably for very long.

Give me a carbon fiber unibody design, a ~4.3in screen with a standard 16x9 or 16x10 aspect ratio resolution, with an sd card slow and user replaceable battery, excessive RAM/CPU power, and entirely open on the software side.
