I've had a couple of mobile phones. And I quickly discovered that all 
the phones that aren't Nokia are terrible.

Like, at one point I had a Motorola phone, and when you compose a text 
message, if you hit the menu key, the first menu option is... 
reconfigure the text size? WTF? You're going to set that how you want it 
*once*, when you get the phone, and then never change it again! On the 
other hand, "send" was the 7th option. You have to scroll to the next 
page to even see it. Again, WTF?

Back then, it seemed that only Nokia phones have software that even 
remotely makes any semblance of sense. Today, I guess all phones run 
Andriod, and are thus identical in every respect... (The odd one out 
being the iPhone, of course.)

Yeah, the idea of a flexible display *sounds* really cool, but... what 
the hell would that even be *useful* for? The only thing I can think of 
is that it takes up much less space when you fold it up. But surely 
that's going to damage it?
