What Makes a Good Phone?

Microsoft is about ready to formerly launch its unified communications strategy. That may be tomorrow, but what about the comm that matters to most people, today? So we ask: What do you want from your cell phone? Two weeks ago I sold my iPhone, after Apple released an update that "bricked" devices that had been unlocked. Relocking the phones would have made sense. Disabling them crossed a line of ownership. Even Microsoft gives users 30 days to activate before throttling back Windows Vista.

I once described using the iPhone as "life changing." But the change didn't last long enough. On Friday, I replaced the iPhone with another Nokia N95, but now the US 3G version. I very much expected to miss the iPhone user interface, touch screen and Web experience. Absolutely "no" to the first two, and only "some" to the latter one. The N95-3 is hands-down the best cell I have ever used.
