   I had a Windows Mobile phone and it was basically a PDA with a phone in it. But it was plagued with unacceptable problems.

     I would have been happy with this direction for mobile phones forever but the touch screen stuff really was an advancement.

     @takao it's good for a phone. by the time you get to a tablet you should have a stylus or it's just a toy

     @guizzy BB10 was amazing. I bought a BB9 tablet on the promise they were going to port BB10 to it, then they reneged. Today I only have the micro-USB power adapter from it.

     @Moon Funnily enough, I had a Nokia N95 8Gb and that was the opposite; a phone with PDA stuff in it. And I was perfectly fine with that direction too; I do prefer the option of touch, but to me smartphones peaked with BB10

     @takao @Moon You exchange 60% of your phone surface area from buttons (which only niche weirdos use) for screens (which everybody uses)

     Phones are for media consumption more than typing, it's a good trade. The only people who don't are the IT guys who are heavy users anyway...but then they are the type to say GUIs are a mistake because "the command line is so much more efficient" which is why they're never marketed to anyways

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @Moon counterpoint: I can type much faster and without eye use on my Nokia than on a shitty touchscreen. Also, GUIs ARE a mistake.
