From an evolutionary standpoint, monogamy favors low quality men and high quality women at the expense of high quality men and low quality women.

Given the quality threshold required to have multiple wives, monogamy thus benefits most men and few women.

High quality men suffer because they are unable to have additional wives, even though they could support them.

Low quality women suffer because they cannot become the second or third or nth wife of a high quality man, even if that would improve their situation.

Low quality men benefit because they are much more likely to marry than in a polygamous situation, in which their potential wives would instead be the nth wives of high quality men.

High quality women benefit because they can be the only wives of high quality men, whereas in a polygamous situation they would have to share their husbands with additional wives.

Autolock is a feature that automatically turns off your display after a period of time. This is a sensible feature. My issue is with turning the display back on, which always requires a finger swipe, whether the display was turned off by Autolock or manually. I want to remove the finger swipe requirement.

And one more thing: smarter auto-correction. I've now typed my name hundreds of times, and it still, even to this day, automatically "corrects" it to another word.

That's right: every time I type my name, I have to manually cancel the auto-correction. This is, to put it mildly, really irritating.

* A way to search mail! It's absurd that you can't do this already.

* A way to disable the slide lock. I can't think of a good reason why I have to slide to unlock every time, especially since I have a case protector that recesses the main button and makes it even more difficult to accidentally press. At least give me the option to turn off the lock.

* Better contacts dialing/searching support. If you don't know what you're missing, try any WM device. The iPhone takes twice as many actions to call someone.

* A scroll bar for long documents or emails. Sure, it's easy to automatically get to the top of the document, but often I need to scroll to the bottom, or to the middle. This requires lots of tedious finger-swiping.

Similarly, it would be nice for the hardware volume buttons to double as page up/page down buttons when you are reading a document. (Other devices allow this remapping, and the buttons revert to their original actions in the home screen or during a call.) It's irritating to have to swipe to scroll since it covers up what I'm trying to read, and it's much easier to keep my thumb on the volume buttons and scroll that way. Again, it's hard to know what you're missing unless you've tried something better.
