Right now the only thing I want for my next phone that this one falls short of is:
1. Stock android
2. Louder speaker
3. LTE
I love this phone but the way moto is going I don't think my next phone will be moto with their bloatware and locked bootloader. I definitely wont buy HTC, so hopefully someone steps up and matches moto's hardware quality.
They have to make insane amounts of money and so does VZ, or AT&T or ??? don't ever think that will happen again. I know I'm being pessimistic, but I do have hope. Just doubt it will happen. Just like I would love to see a re-birth of the american auto industry with a real American Supercar made by entirely in America. IE like the olden days of Dusenberg and Pierce Arrow, competing with Rolls Royce and Bentley (long before they were owned by VW).
But I digress, greatly.
1. 3D screen
2. Blinding screen flash (makes it easy to disappear from awkward situations)
3. Taser
4. Flask Accessory
5. Wild Monkey Locator
How about remote Trunk Monkey activation?
I'm actually way more interested in the software aspect than hardware upgrades. I'd like to see a vanilla Android device with 2.3.
Don't care about the front facing camera.
Don't want SAMOLED unless they properly calibrate it so it doesn't have the ridiculous saturation levels of all the Galaxy S phones and doesn't look grainy to me like all the Pentile matrix phones do.
Don't want a bigger LCD, 4.3" is as big as I'll carry.
I want better software, world-phone capable (i.e. CDMA + GSM), and to keep improving battery life. I'd also like a better camera, I can't entirely tell if it's the software or the hardware but it's definitely not up to the iPhone 4's camera.
I agree with some of this too.
I would love to see better (more streamlined) UI software stock, but it won't happen becasue they have to compete with the hey this iwhatever does everything out of the box with all this added software. Its a marketing war, hell you can't buy a computer with nothing but a clean OS install on it either. Its not marketable except to a few thousand of us crazy people that want to do it ourselves.
I would like to see better processor(s) and graphics to rev up. SO dual core 1.5s maybe dual core doesn't seem all that necessary but whatever.
Bigger battery to begin with is probably going to happen anyway.
next notch in screen resolution would be nice.
Go back to mini USB instead of micro (course now I have all the cables so no matter)
better use of the multi-color LED from stock, course there are now apps for that.
Huge Plus one on the better over all browser experience with full desktop capability. I doubt we will ever see silverlight (MS being who they are) but an Silverlight emmulator so netflix will work would be awesome. NOW. Please.
Folding flowing matrix LED backlit LCD screen that allows folding the 4.3 HD screen out to a 6.8 (give or take a bit) HD screen when needed would make all tablets die in a fire.
LTE specs allow for it to be a worldphone, so if that doesn't get clipped to bad that would be nice.
Built in stand? maybe with one of those projected lazer keyboards that used to be available for Palm Pilots.
