Well, what do you think of my wish list?

I don't think you're too far off. If it doesn't have those specs, it won't be successful.

The weight would have to be lower than that though.

For comparison:
iPhone 4S: 140
Galaxy S II: 122
Droid Bionic: 158
Torch 9810: 161

And the 9810 routinely gets complaints about its weight.

I hope you are right with the S-LCD. I've had pretty bad experience in the past with AMOLED and burn-in.

i disagree, I am confident this phone will be successful as long as the OS delivers. The hardware will probably be close to what you see listed above but even if its not the software is going to decide the fate of the phone IMO

My thoughts exactly. You can only toss so much hardware into a device. Quad core, excess Ram, same o' batteries; we need software that can take advantage of the hardware that is there but at a higher level.

So I am a believer that feels that the new OS is what will make BlackBerry triumphant and powerful.

[diegonei]

I particularly like the battery, yet some android devices have far larger ones. We could go for that...

[Sparro]

Look on the front page.

They need to up the sd card to 64 gb.

Couldn't help but drool. Just upgrade the rear facing camera to 12MP, make the display 720p resolution and (although not completely necessary) make it thinner. Also it would be cool to have some ANT+ technology built in for extra future proofing.

[sir.mervyn.king]

Wouldve thought it would of been quad core ... All android and the new iphone will be quad.. Anyway I can deal with that... Front facing should be more than 2mp and the back should be more aswell... Overall the new design looks better

[mithrazor]

A 4460? I hope not. OMAP 5 and Qualcomm S4's are coming out soon. I hope one of those are in it instead.

[Core_Frequency]

How about gsm and hspa+ support ... T-Mobile and most countries around the world don't have lte yet and the current lte coverage is terrible + the fact the it has no mercy when it comes to battery life.

oh and a backlit cmos sensor like the mytouch 4g slide but better

[Knightcrawler]

i want a fingerprint scanner so only i can unlock my phone

I had that on my Atrix, its a gimmick, thats why it didn't make it to the Atrix 2.

[TaZ52083]

I hope the hardware and os would run great with no issues.
