Count me in the Guys who want my Devices not to be running multiple things. For example I too have a verizon wireless phone with 2 year contract and a samsung BLABLA( Who Cares) series phone. It has a color screen which bothers me because it feels warm when I have to talk for long. Another irritating technology that the phone has ii called text messaging. How can someone use 10 keys to write 26 characters. Another irritation is the flip thingy I have to struggle every time I get a phone call to open the phone.

I guess it all boils to which age group and nationality the phone manufacturers are trying to target.
