Idea no 3 was on my mind sometime ago. One improvement to this could be to also take into account, the time of the day the calls were made to contacts and use this information to sort the contacts list according to the current time. This has happened to me lot of times, when i would be waiting for the office shuttle in the morning, i would wish that my shuttle contacts just show up in the top of the list, rather than scrolling thru them to find :)</p> Nice ideas.

They basically kill muscle memory. This is worse on a cellphone where your muscle memory plays a bigger role. On a Nokia phone, I can open up the games section almost without looking - I just 'know' what button presses I need by repetition over time</p> Self-organizing menus are a bad idea (remember the personalized menus in old versions of Office?).

The phonebook backup thing already works really easily with AT commands - I’ve done it before for my phone.

And I hate phones which look like calculators …
