Em, hi.

I was wondering, with all this brainstorming why nobody made any suggestions to re-add features that were there for a long time, or were added for handsome cash by other companies?

For example, people complain about lack of per-user ringtone, but I never used those because if I did I'd never know it was my phone that rang. I relied on the voice synth to read it out loud, which is mighty useful since it works an all contacts. Any of you ever tuned that off? (It's on by default)

What about video/animated portraits, it would be cool IMO to have the person calling you wave in the little window. It's not like it's hard to do. A little GIF or an AVI or an animated PNG.

Also, the call screen has a lot of free space. We have bigger images.

What about the call screen image quality? The image stored in contacts is too small, and it gets stretched as the window is bigger. How about an associate, each contact gets an unique ID, and that ID is replicated in an image or a video in a separate folder on the MMC. When calling, pull that. If not there, pull contact. Else, pull the blue unknown thingy. This worked just fine on S60 with a quarter the processing power and a tent of RAM and costs like 50$.

Where's progressive calling? Hum, then call. Ring for 2 seconds, wait 5, ring again, allow me to pick up without annoying everyone, yet still get it in the other room. I currently do thus via a custom sound that shuts up a little. It's a modern version of Attraction.

How about customizable ring screen? Let us put what we want on it? Just like we edit the desktops, let me move my red button on top and my green on bottom, they are too close together, you assume I'm watching the screen. This is one of the few phones you have to see to answer. (reject is easy, red is on bottom).

How about accelero-answer? Just like turning over shuts it up, how about head-down answers? Head-up is kinda bad because I'm looking at it. But I could rotate to answer, just leave the arm hanging to answer the phone. Mabye head-down-to-head-up. Or head-down shuts it up and proximity answers so one doesn't bust a membrane.

Does any of this appeal to you or am I the only one who wants this stuff?
