I think a "fixable" phone would be good, maybe to the point of early computers where everything was replaceable. In our drive to include a lot in a phone, and to make it small enough, its given up fixability. Maybe as we can make phones small enough, we'd get back to fixability. Be nice to include "bloks" in the mix. -- Owen
