If You Could Change "1" Thing???

Hello All,

Lets play a little devils advocate. This is a simple thing and here are the rules:

1. Must be a Hardware Change.
2. Must be a change that can actually take place.
3. Does NOT include the screen or Multi-Touch.
4. Does NOT CPU, RAM, Memory, OS, etc...
*** Can ONLY make/suggest "1" Change and Justification would be nice ***

Those are the basics for which the game will be played. Lets just have some collective fun and see where it goes...

My Suggestion: Change the port cover over the Micro USB port. Replace it with the Port Cover used on the Smasung Captivate (The Sliding Door).

My Justification: I don't know about you, but every time I use that flimsy door, I feel it is just going Break and Fall Off. Hate it and Hate all doors that use this clumsy cover (To which there are a LOT that use it, I guess it is cheap and saves them money).....

Who's Next..........
 
If I could change just one thing....

It would be the screen for one that doesn't show greasy finger marks... who knew that my fingers were that grubby! (I have tried anti-reflective protector but didn't like it, made screen look sort of pixelated)

This is one thing that really grinds my gears! I'm thinking about getting of of them anti-fingerprint screen protectors but have not seen any positive reviews for them yet

I would move the powersocket to the bottom. I'm using it as satnav in the car and the phone is positioned above the power outlet so it bends the plug.

Since I'm sure not everyone will post here I make another wish for them. I'd like a proper xenon flash. It shouldn't be very difficult and it's amazing that isn't included in the first place.

I will second that one
but I would have changed the battery cover, very flimsy, my daughter dropped my phone once.. not the best start I know.. but now the back cover will not fit properly.. probably due to the fall but it feels cheap..

My problem, as charlyee has already said, is that the cover is very hard to get off. Are you sure your pressing in the right places to fit it? It sometimes looks like it's on, but then a firmer press fully 'clicks' it into position.

I agree with Gurba - the thing I'd like to change is the power location to the bottom of the phone. It would make using it as a sat nav a lot easier.

Thanks :)

After searching the website you provided I found the right one for the Xperia X10

I don't use the full body, just the screen - find the full X10 one too fiddly
