    Default The perfect linux phone?

    After personally owning my share of phones, reading many reviews on the green phone and whats coming soon with neo. I would like us to put together what we think would be the perfect phone. Not really specifically to one user or even based on installed apps but mostly hardware and being user friendly. I will start with my phone.

    300mhz cpu min, would prefer 400mhz
    The size of the e680 is ok, I could suffer a little length width increase for a little thickness decrease.
    Would prefer an anodized aluminum casing or at least some corner protection for mishaps
    320 x 240 touchscreen is fine
    Plenty of buttons placed perfectly for one handed and two operation including a thumb wheel simply because trying to use a scroll bar with your thumb is a pain in the ass.
    3.5mm headphone jack(is that really so hard to install in a phone?)
    USB host support for external devices
    sd card support (most mini trans come with an adapter anyway and those minis are a pain to deal with.) which is easy to get to ie, dont have to remove the battery.
    1500mh battery.....
    Bluetooth, AD2P, wifi, gprs, a-gps standard!, edge optional.
    2mp camera min, prefer 3mp with some kind of fast to open lens protection iris or slider and a decent flash
    Stylus at least 4 or 5 inches long, motorola's is so fat and strong looking but so damn short.


    Now some additional requests.
    Ability to switch to landscape mode where all applications and gui rotates 90 degrees. Lets say a click on the button above the thumbwheel would switch you back and forth between landscape and onehand mode. Gui would adjust from more icons on screen to fewer icons on screen for one hand mode.

    Camera, I want my camera to open fast, Im not sure if this can be accomplished by hardware or software, but I do not want to wait even 10 seconds to take a picture that is happening right now.

    Software
    Completely open of course
    common music and video format support
    GUI slick and easily skinnable e17 looks nice
    complete firmware backup capability this helps the end user and support! let us do it ourselves easily

    Programs, I dont want to go into that, those are easily ported if the phone is open to developers. I can just imagine openoffice mini!


    Thats the summary of my perfect phone, if I seem to have left out a small thing its mostly likely that its so common now it shouldnt be mentioned.
    It's only a phone if you want it to be

    Default

    + min. 3G, better 3.5G
    + better a 2000mA Battery
    + better internet-stream function for watching and saving TV/Radio streams.
    + Normal SD Card slot with min. accessable to 32Gb cards.
    + internal display 320x240 and external up to 1280x800res on a TV or Computer-screen.
    + video out for a TV- and/or Computer-screen.
    + Bluetooth Keyboard/mouse(-stick)
    + FM Transmitter

    = a really very smal mini multimedia computer with phone function.
    Motorola e680 (flashed to e680i) + 4Gb SD card + HT820 Stereo BT Hedphones,
    Ubuntu 6.10 + 7.04,
    Nokia N95 + 8Gb microSD
