The thing is, most people don't use their "phones" for talking, anymore. And "phone" manufacturers realize that. They're putting their money into smartphones, which is where the market demand is. I'd be shocked to see any improvements in "dumb" phones.

I'd go even further and claim that there are no "smartphones" anymore either, just pocket-sized tablets: http://bergie.iki.fi/blog/no-smartphones/
