I cannot imagine hampering my phone choices to this

I doubt your lack of imagination is important enough to affect our decision making paradigms, but thanks anyway. I'm personally sick of being told that comprises like this are courageous, and that I should want something I know I do not.

No 3.5, no buy.

I don't really care if you buy a phone or not, I was just trying to understand how it makes logical sense to completely destroy your phone choices over something that has many easy solutions. If I made the headphone jack my hardline I could never buy a phone with anything I want.

To me it's like saying you're walking down a road, and there's a boulder blocking it, so instead of walking around the boulder you yell at the sky hoping some great power will remove it.

By all means speak with your wallet or what have you, it just really seems like most people have moved past this and learned to use the multiple existing solution, and it's also very unlikely phone manufacturers will bring back this port.
