"The Ideal Smartphone for 2016"

That's not a real device, but the title of an article on techspot by Tim Schiesser published today. In it he describes his idea of the perfect hardware and software for the aforementioned communications device. Sadly, he'd like Android instead of iOS, Windows Phone or some "obscure" OS. And no hardware keyboard like I'd prefer. But it's interesting what he picks as the must-have features for a perfect handheld. Amoled display and RGB indicator LED together seem redundant, but those were two of the cool features of the N9 and N900 respectively . . .

Do you change smartphone every year? I still use the N900 as my main device. Yesterday I replaced my dumbphone for a Nexus 5 after reading about sfdroid on the Sailfish 2.0 on Nexus 5 forum.
I think the Blackberry passport is ideal for 2016.

These "smartphone" gurus used to flock desperately to buy Motorola Razr V3, when I owned Nokia N73.

Speaking of which, I should really get back to work on the front end stuff for that today, I've just been lazy. liar has done all the renderer/input/sensor side of things (not to say it's finished but what he's been working on). I'll be working on the other less important more polish-y things like adding Android app icons to the Sailfish app drawer upon installation in sfdroid, passing Android Notifications through to Sailfish , replacing the Android keyboard with Sailfish keyboard and that kind of stuff.
