Although the report does not specify, Bluetooth is the likely candidate for such a feature. Only slightly fewer, 50% of those surveyed, wanted Push-To-Talk (PTT) functionality. A distant but still popular third request was improved PIM capabilities, which over one third of those surveyed wanted in their next phone. Other notable findings of the survey included 22% of those surveyed listed Bluetooth on their want-list. ...QWERTY keypads, meanwhile, were of interest to only 13% of those surveyed, while video, music, and games, which current phones push heavily with help from the large media giants, were of interest to less than one in ten users."</i><br /><br />I agree with wireless (be it Bluetooth or WiFi) being in the top spot. I am a little surprised to see Push-To-Talk in second place. Third place goes to increased PIM functionality. Personally I find my Smartphone to handle this area very well. I am a little surprised that QWERTY keypads didn't land a little higher, but I agree with the Music and Video being very low. I've got other devices for that.
