Agree with the point about phone screen sizes! I have a Nokia 3650 which has
a pretty 'generous' screen size for a phone but is still quite cramped.
What I was thinking were the finer points like the 'assist' functionality.
It'd be nice to link a to-do item to call/text message/email functionality -
even more useful on a phone when there seems to be a lot of menu levels to
navigate up & down.
