It's a big whinge. I sound like a very old person in this I'm afraid, but I really do feel like everyone else has just accepted how shitty they are and I'm one of the few that has not.
You've been warned.
I decided my current phone may actually be becoming a fire hazard and thus I do not have the time to find the perfect solution. I spent $100 on a new phone and if it, for some reason, does not suck a hard vacuum I might mention what it is later.
Because it doesn't matter, it's the shitty appliance I carry around because it destroyed the market of everything else that did those little tasks. Some of those markets had it coming (GPS), some are perhaps worse off (point and shoot cameras).
