Yes, but I think we should provide most functionality that is provided by other phones directly, so that non-geek users can use it. You notice that I also included the "call a script" option in my enumeration. Actually, there is no reason why the implementation should not be "script" or "plugin" based, but whatever, the phone should probably provide at least the ones I mentioned preimplemented somehow. > As another example, the messaging app can be caused to call a script > which decides that text messages from non-contact numbers - highly > likely to be spam - will be stored but not "ring" between the hours of Ah, again that seems to be something highly depending upon the local circumstances => I don't associate spam with SMS, but there might other countries where this happens ;) And yes, behaviour profiles and timed switching between them is also one of the most powerful features of current phones. We might consider how to make it extensible, so that one can configure everything in detail.
