We would need such a thing with Mini-USB for the GTA04...

no worries about breaking USB anymore.

I am wondering why those shitty USB connectors still exist while there is so 
nice solution (magnetic connector). The answer is probably to make 
manufacturers happy: more broken connectors => more sold phones.

jolla has browser based on gecko and qt - it works quite nice.

I would trade color LCD display for e-ink. Maybe someone with yota phone 
could comment if e-ink is enough for dayily use (reading SMS, calls, 
browsing and maps).
