Firstly, what the hell is the go with that Motorola headset? I mean, that is as ugly as they come!

In reply to some suggestions that you others have made, here's what I think...

The solar battery that was mentioned is a great idea and similar to an idea that I meant to put in my original post (although obviously I forgot). The difference with my idea was that I would have suggest to put solar panels on any available part of the phone. Not only could you combine the solar panels to create an interesting and probably cool design, but it would ensure maximum exposure!

USB 2.x is a good idea... USB ports are small, fast and standard bewteen all devices, so having a USB 2.x port would open up a lot more options. Good idea!

The Bluetooth stereo hands-free headset is another idea I meant to put in my original post. What would it look like? Probably something like the Sony Ericsson Bluetooth™ Headset HBH-60- It's small, sexy and functional.

A long-range Bluetooth radio is someting I didn't think of, although another brilliant idea. You should know that the Bluetooth technology to transmit signals up to 100 meters outdoors (although this requires significantly more power) and up to 50 meters in doors. This doesn't mean that all Bluetooth devices will work to these distances, the above is just the maximum you will ever get (well, for now anyway).

Full voice control, something I don't use very often (can never remember what I recorded!) may be useful for some people, but only if voice recognition was perfected. I guess I'd throw it in. Nice one.

Small size? If you read the top of my post, you would see the size that I think it would be. Ideally, all these brilliant features would be in something the size of a Sony Ericsson T600 (no, not a T610!) or a Nokia 8910i, although it would be VERY difficult to fit ALL of the features in this thread into a device that small.

Finally, what the hell is XM radio?

well, i think he meant, xM radio, which basically translate to A/FM radio, something like classifying phones as T6xx, T3xx, T2xx, where the x represents a constant.

and you still missed out UMTS. and i think the solar panels will get fingerprinty and scratchy quickly, and is too brittle to use as a shell. you can put it INSIDE a transparent casing, but that will make the phone look toyish and a tad thicker.

oops. ok my mistake.

edit: er, its not really a NORMAL radio. this one works via satellite uplink! and you need to pay to use it, though its supposed to be crystal clear.

Forget UMTS! 3 operates a UMTS network in Australia... The video quality is pathetic and there is no mobile Internet (WAP) service! If you ask me, UMTS technology has to improve a LOT before it's worth deploying... This message was posted from a WAP device

There is a '3' advert here in the UK and you can see how poor the quality is! Pathetic!

Forget that XM radio too... The only advantage it seems to have is that it uses satellites and therefore has a good signal. Why pay for XM radio when you can get just as good a signal using FM radio for free? This message was posted from a WAP device

yeah, i had XM radio for a while, it has alot of channels that let you listen to whats on TV and also has 10 channels specializing in each type of music, so its like having TV in your car, but without the freakin picture! not only do you have to subscribe to it, you also have to have an XM enabled radio, which costs about $150. i hated it and gave up on it rather quickly.

we cant forget video recorder
touchscreen but with keypad
automatically fixes the time (using GPS)
stereo speakers
GPRS class 10 (I think that's the highest )
java J2SE (not that ME crap)
vb support (for me )
bread app
taser
flashlight
thermometer
ability to support 3G

I think that's all I'd add...
and really cool futuristic design
