The biggest question I have is would we finally get a decent keyboard

for finger usage? I have to use a stylus even to just make calls to

people who I do not have their number memorized and it is almost

impossible to text via finger on 200x.x. I would love to see a good

keyboard, reliable SMS and phone calls, at that point I'll be more than

satisfied with my investment, right now I'm happy but feel that things

have a long way to go.
