cell phone programmers and designers

i just don't get it, they will never be able to make the perfect phone. they make one phone, bunch of nice features, then make a newer version, but for no reason in god's given earth just take off a perfectly good feature for no reason. for example, i've had 3 different LG phones where you can't see the time when you're in a call. oh i'm sure people would NEVER need the TIME when they're in a call right? well i'm sure they didn't think about that when they made 12 different models and didn't fix the problem. (although i'm sure they've fixed the problem by now it still took them 4 yrs)

it seems like everytime you get a new cell phone theirs something you're giving up or sacrificing for the sake a new better phone? shouldn't there be no DOWNSIDE to getting a NEW PHONE? do i have to give up my speakerphone or my voicedials or get a new memory card slot or be able to check my text messages with my phone closed. (best feature ever and i'm going to have to give it up soon) stupid bone headed people need to test the phones out realistically and have people use them for weeks before they're put on the markets and have people actually give FEEDBACK and also LISTEN TO THE FUCKING FEEDBACK!
