most of these are platform features that can't be third party things I 
think, especially suggesting disruptive sales models like selling it 
with Asterisk. I have always been rather sad at the feature chasing, and 
lack of defining a distinct market for the phone. The priority has 
always been things that you can do on other platforms and not things you 
can't do on other platforms. The circle isn't the most awesome feature, 
but it is distinctive, which means it is important. I am not seeing 
anything saying they have abandoned the lock screen circle, where did 
you see that?

It looks like webrtc for audio has been recently implemented, it was 
missing the popup to turn on the microphone. Seems to be missing for the 
camera still. I wonder what we can do with this . . .
