Sleek candybar design. I hope they choke. I am NOT buying a candybar, ever. Every phone I had had sliding abilities, starting with 8110. I want buttons. And, if at all possible, a stylus.

As for all the camera requests, please, get real. There isn't enough light going through that little joke of a lens to ever make it anywhere near what a camera can do. There's a reason those big cameras sell for 4-digit prices. Size is not for show.

If you are out in the sun, any decent phone will take decent pictures. A HD screen has 2 MPx. No light -> no picture and no megapixel sticker is going to bypass the laws of physics. Also, zooming lowers the light. So, yes, not enough light, that means smudged, low quality, high noise, high grain pictures. Don't get me started on flash.

Everybody saw that N8 commercial. Oh, the quality. Any of you took the N8 for a spin indoors? Yeah. More pixels means less light on each pixel. Imagine that, worst. image. ever.

So, what do I want? Well, N900 was pretty great, frankly. Screen could be bigger, maybe an OLED for clarity. OTOH, N900 has translucent, so, in the sun, it's hard to beat. Screen scratches a bit easy, so that's fixable.

I always wanted another camera for stereo. It's lopsided and the stand stinks, so why not add another stand, and, with it, another camera? That would be great. And since it can;t have a bigger battery without being humongous, make the battery have another small one for swapping. You can have hot swap like with PCMCIA cards. Push button, battery pops, insert another. Phone simply sleeps at minimum power while doing this, maybe suspending clock. Oh, and compass(es). AR rocks.

Add a little better build quality and there you have it. Nice display, all the options, stereo imaging (how cool is that?) and ever ready to go. All in a pocket.

And less bugs, please.
