#1: Who the hell is actually asking for these features?
#2: See above.
#3: See above again. For clarity.
Damn I grow tired of pointless feature-creep that will make an already expensive and fragile device, even more fragile. Give me back a damn removable battery and a device that might last more than 2 years already, and stop with the stupid shit. The tri-fold wallet, went out of fashion when velcro was holding wallets closed. Kind of doubt a tri-fold phone will fare any better.
It's a bit different with a mobile device though because there is a limit to what you can carry.
Like they say the best camera is the one you have with you. So a phone with a really good camera is desirable, since that's the one you will definitely have with you.
I'd love to own a good folding phone that I can pocket and fold out when I want to do more than just reply to a message.
It's rather ironic that true photo geeks laugh at this concept, since they're usually never without a "really good camera". Also known as not a phone.
Photo geek weighing in here. Phones are not just the "camera you have with you" when you run into that unexpectedly photogenic scene or breaking story, but they are at the same time the ideal street camera for social situations. When you bring an SLR up to your eye, the camera comes between you and the subject. People tense up in the presence of a "real camera," but phones are so ubiquitous that they disappear into the social landscape. You can be snapping away with one and nobody notices.
Yawn. Call me when I can have a phone like in The Expanse with a large display that exceeds the physical dimensions of the device.
