  A policeman? is that unusual?

  Maybe if enough people file feedback on the name change they will reconsider. At least they will have a glut of feedback to deal with.

  As you add more compute per user interaction (“smart” features), you increase power consumption. To keep an 18hour discharge cycle, you have to have more battery. Since phone thickness is a negative marketing feature but increased screen size is a positive marketing feature, you end up with bigger phones.

  Every time they reduce compute power consumption, feature inflation overtakes the gain and more power is needed over time. Try turning on battery saver in the morning… even with “normal” use the battery will last significantly longer due to disabling background power consumption.

  “Email clients?” … boom! ;)

  I think you meant “propagated”.

  How do you monitor your email functionality? How long would it be before you noticed it was offline? What about paying for and configuring the new email server?

  Clear and Clear Entry.

  The better option is to use an RPN calculator as Hewlett-Packard used to make. Then the back arrow button just eliminates one digit at a time.
