I just want to know if there will be some new phone release ( want to buy
some). I want to know when bugs like [1] (because someone cheated us) or
[2] (marked as critical, 'bug' has almost year and it's really important to
get fix for it; with lack of this feature, developing some kind of apps is
almost impossible) or [3] and [4] ('bug' for almost 2 years....REALLY
important) will be fixed.
