A large screen, i use mine a lot for mobile web so its got to be on a decent sized screen but not a tablet.
Good processing power - i do not want to wait on a computer doing something so its got to shift.
Storage capacity, nothing stupid like 2Gig or something as i simply dont think its needed - large volumes of data should be in the cloud where it is "safe"... that said pony capacity is also not good so a decent in-between like 256 and 512 options.
Excellent camera, another thing i use my device a lot for is pictures. I dont want to carry another camera for 95% of the shots i take so its vital the phone has a great camera system. Multiple lenses and ToF sensors plus optical zoom which is a killer.
Finally the 2 biggies.
Its got to be an established OS that is updated frequently and with yearly optimizations and more importantly added facilities. It has to be secure as well.
And... with the OS comes the application store. This is the kicker and where MS and Blackcherry fail massivly.
You want to do well in the phone space you need a big fully fledged and working application store, i will not buy into a phone platform that has 2 dozen apps and thats it. Same reason i junked the windows phones we were getting in, for a start (at the time) there was no jabber client for them. but there is an Android and IOS one.
So if Brownberry wants to sell devices then it really needs to go Android.
