I was sitting looking at the Icom (UK) website as my Uncle will be giving me an Icom IC-E90 Radio for Christmas. Whilst looking at the Specs, I was thinking, if they both use Radio, why not combine with a Mobile?

So my question is What feature do you want on a Mobile that is not usually available?

For me would be CB/Amateur Radio!

A clip-on electric razor, would be so-o-o-o useful as we head into Xmas party season and find the need to shave unexpectedly 😃

10-4 Good Buddy.....LOL, guess that would be kind of fun 😊

For me, I really think GPS is something that I would find useful...I know it exists already for phones (Either via a chip on the mainboard or via BT), but i'm not convinced by the quality or software (For UIQ anyway)

Oh I have another one. How about on the unused surfaces they build in Solar Cells, so when your phone is on your desk during work, it automatically trickle charges!

Being able to use it as a home phone (did/does BT do something like this) but if all mobiles could do it.

Also to use as an intercom (I bought a 4 pack of cordless phones for the house and the best feature is the intercom as it saves shouting to the wife from one room to the other - especially when the kid is asleep)

What I really want to have my phone but doesn't have...?

TV tuner
200GB Hard Disk
12Mpixel Camera (With advanced video rec at res up to 720x576)
A plasma screen.
7.1 sound output (Dolby Digital EX compatible)
mini DVD recorder (Dual Layer)
DUAL 4.5Ghz CPU 128bit
1Ghz GPU (with Hardware T&L as well as pixel shaders at least)
1GB RAM
...

And by the way I want it to be small...

phone can be a global remote control device for every other devices. you can install the specific device's info, and interact for recognition, and then you can use your phone as a remote control of that device too. that would be grat for me, cause right now i don't know where the hell is the remote control of my TV and i want to watch TV... 😃 (i don't know if there is a usage like this in any phone)

by the way MemphisX you want little tiny extra feathures for your phone... 😊 after total development of atom based storage devices you can have even 1TB HardDisk on your device. and due to a magazine i have read, Israeli scientists developed a CPU for military in which instead of silicone, fiber technlogy is used and a bunch of laser heads (i remember the number as 8, i an be wrong i can't remember clearly). an they've reached an incredible speed. so maybe with this technologies your dreams may come true... 😊

how about a sharp edge for scraping the ice of your car window in the morning. and instead of a stylus a toothpick like on your swiss army knife - infact all the features of a standard swiss army knife would be useful....
