re your note 02 - I can't fight you; I'm too busy agreeing. I haven't seen a cell phone innovation that I cared about (except negatively) in approximately forever. Well, except for the Planet Gemini, which features an excellent physical keyboard. And possibly the Pine Phone, which features physical switches to turn off various potential avenues for privacy invasion. Note that what those two have in common is that they don't come from major cell phone manufacturers, and are anything other than fashionable. Both are also strictly early adopter gadgts, plagued with bugs, some of them major.
