Design- Something by apple thats unibody, maybe a type of iPhone 4/MacBook Air hybrid look, preferable a slide out keyboard as good as the new Bold 9900s that when closed doesnt look like theres a keyboard. Around 11mm thick, not too thin.

Display- Retina display clarity with Super AMOLED Plus colour.

Internals- Quad core cpu, >2GB ram, dedicated GPU, 5000mAh battery, at least 32gb of storage, NFC. CMDA, GSM, LTE, everything haha.

Software- Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwich or HTC Sense.

iPhone like ecosystem with plenty of accessories.
Nokia N8 quality 12mp rear camera, 2mp front facing camera.
Unlimited data plan and a contract price of under 250$.
Ultra scratch proof.

A blackberry 9790 with android,, *drool*

[Bujin#IM]

My needs are simple: I'd love a phone the size of the Nexus S, but with a larger screen (basically, 4.3", no buttons, all screen). Other than wishing for a slightly larger screen, I can't think of anything that my current Nexus lacks.

[dwt10]

l think I need some more dimensions to picture what your dream phone would look like. Three is certainly not enough.

1 nanometer thin

[maxwellwd]

My dream would be the android OS having more apps that Apple and overtaking it in the popularity stakes so we can stick our fingers up at them.

[psufan32]

I won't be as technical as some of you...

- 4.5" screen running ICS (thus, device wouldn't have buttons and would approximately be the size of a 4.3" Android 2.x device. The screen should be non-glare, high definition, and the best on the market.
- The back of the device should have some sort of soft material (such as the BB Bold 9700) so that it rests softly on hard surfaces, instead of being hard plastic or glass (like the iPhone 4).
- The overall design should be sleek, and classy. Less is more. A grown up phone, for example. In college football terms, Penn State's uniforms, not Oergon's (as some devices are today).

- Internal specs should be more than enough to run things efficiently for the next 2.5 years. My best guess is that means a 1.2 Ghz dual core processor, 1 GB RAM, 8 GB internal, 32 GB external.
- Work with Canon or Nikon to build a top of the line camera. To keep up with the Joneses, it would have to be 8 MP rear, and basic front facing camera.
- 1080P video from that camera.
- Work with audio company to beef up audio capabilities, as phones have replaced stand alone MP3 players.

- HTC Sense 3.0 (or 3.5 if that is out) running on top of ICS.
- 4G/LTE and world phone capable (meaning, it works on AT&T!)
- Best in class battery life (think what the iPhone 4 gets, or better - not the typical crappy HTC battery life)

[Rickyman0924]

a 1.5 ghz or greater dual core/dual ram processor, 5"super amoled hd screen, 8 mp rear/5 mp front facing camera with dual led flash, no physical buttons and complete untouched by cellular providers and running ICS with a combination of HTC sense and samsung Touchwiz. It would also have to be quad band/dual sim with nfs and be completely unlocked so I can use it however I wanted to....and it would come with a 32 g memory card and the sound powered by Dr.Dre Beats audio and a wrap around beats audio bluetooth full headset and docking station that would charge the phone and bluetooth as well as serve as a stand for the phone and our would feature a new Monster Clarity speaker for entertainment. The phone would also have a dual mode fire the bluetooth profile so I can route my voice calls through my headset and my media/music through my speaker. It doesn't take much to make me happy lol

[NOVAA]

- 4.0" 720p Super Amoled display (But running buttonless ICS, bringing it similar in form factor the the existing BB Torch design)
- Vertical Sliding QWERTY keyboard in the mold of the Blackberry Bold 9900
- 2.0 Megapixel front facing camera and 8.0 megapixel rear facing camera with dual LED flash
- HTC styled design with carbon fiber unibody design for lightness and rigidity
- Multicolored LED notification
- Loud Speakerphone
- Pocketable and thin design, but not at the expense of battery life

On the inside

- Ultra Low voltage 1.5Ghz Cortex a15 quad core
- Next gen Power VR graphics
- 1.5GB DDR3 Ram
- 16GB internal storage with micro-sd expansion of up to 64GB cards
- LTE, NFC, Bluetooth 4.0, etc...
- 2500-3000mAh battery (Whatever is enough to get me through a full day of heavy use with the brightness at an optimum level)


So basically I want a samsung HD screen, HTC build quality, BlackBerry vertical qwerty, and a battery which is big enough to get me through one day of heavy use.

[ejaymd11]

I hope Google reads this!!!

[knighthawk321]

Start with the HTC Holiday as a baseline (Love that 4.5 inch screen but make it 720P). Give it an audiophile grade speaker. Up the CPU (dual core, or quad, if available) to 1.5 GHz, give it 16GB internal storage, 2GB DDR2 RAM, 64GB microSD card (class 10), Gorilla glass screen, ICS, metal case with kickstand a la evo and tbolt, soft back over that, battery capacity to handle a full day of using everything to its fullest, 4G/LTE or better transceivers, wireless N spec, USB3, 1080p HDMI out, quality audio (either Beats or X-Fi), up the rear camera to 12Mp with 3x optical zoom, up the front cam to 3Mp minimum, unlocked bootloader and do all this for $199 max on contract.

[elcheapodeluxe]

I want something along the lines of the Galaxy M PRO, but with a slightly higher resolution screen, faster processor (1GHz Tegra 2?), more RAM (1gb), and 14mbit HSPDA+. Why not a bigger screen? Why not an even faster processor? Why not LTE? Because this sucker should rival the battery life on my Blackberry 9700. And it should be light, and thin. Very thin. In short I want a Blackberry 9900 equivalent running android.

[Aspiring Developer]

I'm pretty happy with my Nexus One. It has color LED notification. I can use the track ball or the volume switches to take a picture. I added a Seidio 3500 mAh battery, a 16Meg sdmicro. The Seidio back cover that comes with the battery was perfect for hacking so I built a sliding combination lens cover/ macro lens so I can shade my precious camera from the ravages of direct sunlight and also take very close up pictures (quite handy for reading small print). I cut out a "locker mirror" to fit the back of the case for those vanity moments.
I WOULD LIKE fully functional USB so that the myriad of USB compatible devices don't go to waste (should be standard on ALL phones. think what developers would do with that!).
I WOULD LIKE a screen I could see well even in full sun.
I WOULD LIKE Google Goggles to work on everything (faces, plants, cars, furniture, maybe if the phone had a spectrometer it could do minerals and chemical composition of consumables and stuff).
I WOULD LIKE manual focus option!!!
I would also like a front facing camera for all those new pseudo 3D apps that will be coming out.
I plan to add green and red laser pointer ro my already decked out phone.
I do not plan on adding a can opener.

[Puzzlegal]

I want a 4"-4.3" screen with no horizontal bezel and just enough vertical bezel to fit a speaker, camera, multi-colored LED, navigation keys, and trackball on it. So it would be noticiably smaller than today's crop of 4.3" phones, but have a screen about as large.

A gorgeous vibrant screen that can be viewed in full sunlight but sips power.

A full QWERTY vertical slider keyboard with a row of number keys on the top. Blackberry/Treo quality keys, back-lit in the dark for easier typing.

Snappy responses, apps load instantly.

WebOS "cards" interface, but Android or iPhone apps, and Android on-screen editing.

Radios for every signal, all unlocked, so it works everywhere.

Enough juice to last for a full day, 6AM to 12midnight, with the screen on much of the time, the radios on all the time, and the processor doing its thing.

A really good camera with strong dynamic range, excellent fast focus, and decent low-light capability.

Lots of on-board memory, and ability to use external memory (microSD) of arbitrarily large size.

Solid build, not too chunky front-to-back (although this dimension doesn't matter to me as much as the others. Guys, I can fit a pack of cards in my pockets, but a lot of these new phones don't really fit.) with a hard impervious front (like gorilla glass) and a soft-touch back.

And around the edges, I want an on/off switch, a dedicated mute switch, a dedicated camera button, ports for data, power, headphones, and AV connectivity, but NOT a volume rocker that I always hit by mistake.
