THIS IS WHAT I WANT:

[Mr. Whippy]

This thread for those who wish to discuss devices that aren't available but should be.

Here is my entry.

I want a cell phone that is the size of the second generation iPod nanos.



To complement it, there should be an ultra thin foldable BT screen (or screen/board combo) for when you want use it for browsing etc.

I really like my Galaxy S5, but it is danged big!

[Mr. Whippy]

Heck, it could even take the form of the new 7th gen Nano.

I agree, phones are getting more like tablets these days

But after today's Apple announcement, you can now keep a huge phone in your pocket and talk to your arm 

I like 'smart' phones but they are getting so smurfing huge!

A few years ago people would compare phones to see who had the smallest (deserves another Picard)

My "want" would be a big red button on all telephonic devices. When someone faxes your landline  or you get a telesales call (particularly automated ones), you push the red button and their equipment explodes 

I'd like something similar for spam emails, so you have the option to reply, forward, or alternatively eradicate

Nuke them from orbit, it's the only way to be sure

A watch with tungsten carbide and steel laminate body, with sapphire/PC laminate window, self contained fusion reactor, and holographic projection for phone/browsing/mapping functionalities.

+1 on smaller compact phones 

I WANT a affordable WiFi speaker system that does not use Bluetooth or need a mp3 player.
I just want to stream music to it & yep they are out there but are stupid expensive in Oz.

[ironraven]

I'd settle for $5/gb data

I agree  completely , get those meds down 


Fancy forgetting the flux capacitor & the warp core ,it will never work with out them ,mind you every thing will have to be scaled down to fit in a watch , that could delay production by a few months

A nose-picker so that people stop using tools to pick their noses.

All nice and dandy, PFrSantos, and then the running and screaming when the nano phone decides it is smarten than you and decides to exterminate the human race

very nice concept though...

Meh.  Small phones are going the way of the dodo because there's not enough demand.  Even the iPhones are getting ridiculously large - the new models announced today are huge, especially the 6 plus

Yes. And I think there would be a market for it. I think it's just a conspiracy by the phone companies to keep forcing the public to pay more for phones and still be "happy" about it.

hey, 10 years ago our phones are the props in big budget sci-fi movies, I'm sure we'll get it sometime down the road.
