Motorola Defy. I wanted a Phone that isn't as flimsy in Design. I would've given the iOS a Chance but sadly that is bound to the pathetically flimsy iPhones. Companies have the wrong Idea in their design Philosophies. The mobile device is something that is supposed to be carried around all the time. So, no Smartphones for People who use their Muscles at Work. The Defy was a (failed) try to make a Smartphone that wont scratch when a fucking Fly lands on it.
I work in a Quarry that is being rebuilt as a Museum. I use my Smartphone to quickly draw Stuff to show how i want Things done. "we place these Rocks in a Half-Circle leaning on that Wall over there like *this*, fill that with Dirt and we'll something to display this old Minecart!".
I got the first scratch in it after about three days when i forgot that i had my Phone in the Pocket and put a few screws in there. Blech. Scratches on a Display wouldn't matter much as long as i can still see it. But this is also the control Surface. If it weren't a touchscreen, i'd just put a thick layer of scotch tape over it like i did with my old Phone.
The Industry can not provide a Smartphone durable enough for my Needs. Although that would be rather easy. Take the Motorola Defy and add a physical Keyboard to it that can be closed onto the Display. Like the Nintendo DS. Scratches on the Back won't matter to me. Scratches in the Touchscreen do. I'd like a Phone with the aforementioned physical Keyboard, with the Gorilla Glass of my Defy (which has been astoundingly Scratch resistant, just not enough for me.) a faster Processor (800 mhz aren't cutting it) and maybe a better Camera. The Defy being waterproof is awesome. Washing your Phone gets rid of Fingerprints in a Heartbeat
.
MOAR BATTERY would also be good. i don't care if the Thing weighs twice as much. It is rather light, probably they made it lightweight in Order to have less kinetic Energy do deal with when you drop the Phone onto concrete.
My Contract lasts another Year, maybe there will be some better phones out by then.
