    The Adam Smith Institute once added up all the govt spending demands made in a single news program and it came to like 10% of GDP.

    Similarly the comments here: if only it could do all this and

    * On/off button round the back

    * More LTE bands

    * An open bootloader (note to normies this is like saying "have a quantum multiplexer")

    * Different screen ratio

    * Different keyboard layouts

    * Eink screen

    * Bigger battery

    * Be easier to use for someone with long fingernails (hello Nosferatu <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=49751114">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=49751114)

    * Be lighter

    * Be smaller

    * Have a website without javascript (really)

    * Be cheaper (this one is satire) (no it&#x27;s not)

    Sure guys, why can&#x27;t someone just build you your personal phone at the same price as the iPhone whose development costs are amortized over seval billions consumers :-&#x2F;

      &quot;Have a website without javascript (really)&quot;

      Their website also requires a User-Agent headeer

      Given the low level of traffic, IME this is unusual
