Wishlist for the Touch Successor

[boe]

I love my touch - I really really like it sooo much more than my mogul. I wrote up a long review of how much I think this phone kills the mogul for me. I don't think this phone fits into a category for those who want a keyboard so I don't think a physical keyboard would be an item that should be listed - more for people looking for the next iteration of the mogul.

This thread is not a gripe - I really really am happy with the touch but technology doesn't sit still and I'll want a new toy a year or so from now when the technology improves.

As much as I love the Touch, I tend to think about what I'd like a year or so from now on my next model -(and give the engineers time to build it)

1. VGA screen - with more viewing angle than current Touch

2. Better battery life - battery technology improves every year - and perhaps some things can be done to reduce battery drain like OLED or BT 2.1.

3. A flash LED - I really miss using the flash on the mogul and 6700 as a flashlight - and you might as well build the app into the phone instead of having to download a 3rd party app.

4. More side hardware keys so that you can assign some to voice command - camera button awkward to get to for voice command.

5. More built in memory - I'm happy with the micro SD and the current unit but storage demands always increase - my first PC hard drive was 120MB - try getting a new HD under 80GB. No reason our phone can't move forward. A year from now I'll want more memory.

6. A FULL GPS (not assisted GPS)- you could make a combo GPS card/8GB micros SD storage card for all I care - I just have an issue with monthly fees to Sprint for anything.

7. Faster video processor and or CPU - I want to be able to view mapping software instantaneously.

8. BT 2.1 - why not save a little battery life.


I'm very happy with the Touch. This is a great phone. Hopefully the next model can include some of this newer technology to make it even better. I change my car every 8-9 years, my PC ever 1.5-2.5 years but I change my phone as often as I can if the technology has improved enough.
