1. Hey ya'll. Thank you for all the wonderful feedback so far! I'll be in the comment section for the next hour so let's have a chat!

2. Business Opportunity in Ruvol

   I have invented a Board Game [still unpublished and not yet out in the market] that I believe is guaranteed to be as challenging and exciting as CHESS. I called it “RUVOL.”

   It is my hope that one day Ruvol may surpass chess as the “Number One Board Game in the World.”

   The weakness of chess is it always starts in fixed positions that the opening moves become “memorizable.” In fact, not a few have so mastered the moves that they can play against their opponents “blindfolded.” It is for this very reason that the great Bobby Fischer introduced his so-called “Fischer Random Chess,” where the starting position of the pieces is “randomized” to make the memorization of openings impracticable. Fortunately, it is also for this reason that I invented Ruvol where “every game” has been calculated to be a challenging one to play.

   HOW IS RUVOL PLAYED and HOW YOU CAN MONETIZE IT?

   I detailed everything in my YouTube video. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcqth0m3-R0

   BIG MONEY POTENTIAL IN RUVOL!

   It is worthwhile to note that the people who play chess will be the same people who will play Ruvol. In my Google search, I learned there are around 800 million chess players in the world. Even just a small percentage of these 800 million is good enough to earn big money from Ruvol either as an ONLINE GAME BUSINESS or as a PHYSICAL PRODUCT DISTRIBUTOR.

   Thanks and God bless!

3. You're dead wrong about batteries…

4. I like –
   1. Removable batteries
   2. 3 5mm headphone jack. Bluetooth headphones could be the alternative, but are more expensive.

   I wish there was a capacitor or an inbuilt system to store power for a minute or two, even after a battery is removed, so the battery could be replaced without turning off the phone!!!

5. A smaller screen.
   I look at the iPhone SE and I think "Nice. Smart. Surely though there is room for a pair of speakers in those bezels?"

6. I really hope the headphone jack thing is just a trend, but the fact that it hasn't died yet may be a sign of that. I think a lot of people were just wanting to bandwagon off of Apple at first.

7. Samsung galaxy s9 has front facing speaker now

8. Hands of the headphone jack! Its really bullshit to remover that one do you have to buy tons of adapters to still use it!

9. Physical keyboards also had a problem that different phones had to be made for different countries. At one time I used to carry spare batteries but then I found power banks better as they did not interrupt what I was doing. Headphone jack is vital as one can use a power bank and head phones at same time without any adapters. I would not buy a phone without a head phone jack.

   FM radio is one feature that has disappeared.

10. Man…! I'm hating to see the headphone jack go. 😧😧

11. anything on an LG phone pretty much

12. If a cellphone doesn't have a headphone jack or removable battery, I'm not interested.

13. Removable battery. MOTO G5 FTW!

14. I stjll like the removable batteries, so I don't have to ship my phone to the factory, I can easily buy a new battery at the store where I got my phone.

15. Popalar

16. why on earth would you want a thinner phone, it essentially means that it's easier to break and has less hardware space, I personally think that about 1.5 to 2. cm is the ideal thickness for a phone as in my experience it's the largest size that's not uncomfortable, just think about it, a big as hard to break phone with a headphone jack and a bigass battery that can last about 2 times longer as well as some space for extra hardware

17. I still like physical keyboards, I had one like 3 years ago… still want one, they feel comfortable as hell… also super thin phones suck, they're much more fragile and can fit less hardware… I'd take a iPhone with a earphone jack that's 2 cm thick over the iPhone X… or better yet not a iPhone at all… preferably a Samsung or blackberry

18. pen on cheap smartphones

19. I REALLY miss the thermometer on the S4, as well as infrared blasters.

20. iPhone has a front facing speaker since the iPhone 7

21. Lanyards holes … I believe it exists only on Sony phones these days

22. Honestly I still used headphones and I refuse to move on from it so headphone jacks better not be dying

23. I actually prefer the optical track pad because it's more precise than a touchscreen. Works well with scrolling, doesn't block out the screen with a finger and it keeps you from accidentally clicking on things.
    I also prefer tactile keyboards for the same reason. I'd like to see the screen while I type.

24. I was fine with Android phones being thick

25. Samsung please do not get rid of the headphone jack

26. Xiaomi still has IR blaster and headphone jack

27. Uhm… the iPhone 7, iPhone 8 and iPhone X all have a front facing speaker.

28. Rip IR blaster. I loved you

29. Definitely missing the front facing speakers.

30. Where's bezel

31. People need to differentiate between old tech and obsolete tech. Literally every piece of technology with audio has a headphone jack.
