The most obvious thing is the touchstone charger. You mean, if I get a new phone I'll have to plug it in every night like some fucking caveman? No thank you. Plus there is the fact that, though Android has gotten nicer, it is still relatively ugly and unintuitive. What are all those buttons on the front of every Android phone? A home button? A menu button? A back button? A search button? C'mon.
Why is that you gotta go through some shit and root an android phone and get hacked firmware and all that? I want to do some crazy shit with my Pre, I put in the Konami code, I connect it to my PC once, and then I can do any crazy patches, overclocking, and changes I want from my phone. I don't need to wipe my phone, I don't lose a single thing. If I have to replace my phone, all I do is type in my name and password and it gets all of my apps and settings (all the official stuff and even some of the unofficial) back.
If I'm going to class and I forget to silence my phone, no worries, my phone sees that I've got class in my calendar and automatically goes into airplane mode and mutes itself. If I set my phone on the charging dock, the screen goes to minimum brightness and the ringer to about half of my default level. Maybe there is a way to do this with Android phones, I dunno. But I wonder, why should I abandon the functionality of my phone just to get a prettier screen and a couple hundred extra mhz?
In short: hey HP/Palm, WebOS 2.0 looks nice, but how about some new hardware, eh?
