You forgot to mention something that noone ever uses or never has used: the cell broadcast function in the messaging application. If this cell broadcast was used properly by any operator, it could be quite useful (e.g. latest newsfeeds without the need of going online, time synching [BTW I never understood why the time in mobiles could not be synched with a cell tower], maybe even advertising) but as it seems, no operator cares.
Maybe you should also write an article about the functions that were removed in newer phones; why has e.g. the wallet app been removed? Instead, we got a bunch of useless apps such as "activation keys" or "chat" which are never used anyway
Waste Of Space or Still Quite Useful?
i don't care about the rest, but i'd like it if they kept the secondary front camera around.
the only reason its not used so much is coz 3g is still so damn expensive in most places especially americas... otherwise i would've been using it day/night for video calls.

This from a N95 8GB.
The network time support has been in all phones for many, many years. Some networks might still not support it, though (might not provide the time at all, or they provide the wrong time).

thanks but i've been using this option since i got my n95😉 yet it somehow is not supported by vodafone germany...
couldn't the mobile just be synched like a radio controlled clock? this little implementation would be really nice because it would be operator-independent
Actually, the presence of an IR port is one of the main reasons why I have bought a Nokia E71. IR is indeed slow and less comfortable than BT, however the amount of legacy applications for IR is immense.
