If you could choose any device...

Sharp Aquos Crystal. I'm shocked that Windows Phones haven't been looking like that since it's conception - design is taken straight out of the same page as a Zune.

My second-in command has this on Boost. The thing is beautiful. Be even more beautiful if they scrapped Android and put W10M on it.

... and ditched CDMA for GSM

EDIT: I'd also like to see a Lumia 1020 revision that ditches the OLED for ClearBlack IPSLCD, has a thinner design, adds an SD card slot, native Qi and a ring adapter for extra lenses.

an updated version of the lg optimus 7. bigger, thinner with all round beefier internals.

I'd say the iPhone 6s. Perfect size for me.

You should look into the YEZZ Billy 4.7

Dumbest name of any phone I've ever owned, but it's almost a 1:1 replica of the iPhone 6s form factor.

It's also the thinnest, lightest, nicest-feeling Windows Phone I've ever owned.

That IS a weird name. Never heard of this phone before. Looks very nice. BUT it was released two years ago and appears not able to upgrade to Windows 10. (And only GSM so no good for me as on Verizon)

I would have a Blackberry Passport running Windows 10

I want the OG N-Gage with the Screen Horizontal. Put WM10 on it and move the speaker to the front to avoid "Taco-Talk"

You haven't lived until you've rocked one of these. The Microsoft Kin Two.
Feels great in the hand. Full qwerty keyboard. Chamfered edges, FM radio, removable battery, Facebook and Twitter integration on deck and something not found on newer Windows phones, a Youtube client. That's right, a full on Youtube client. Ballin! All this running Windows 10 Mobile, you'd think you've died and lost every last one of your friends.

Xaomi mi4c, Sony xperia z5, Samsung s6/s7.

The HP Veer. I like tiny phones and that phone was awesome. Plus, the gesture and card systems on the PalmOS/WebOS devices were better than anything out there today. Windows Phone has a slightly different version of the card system which is why I've gravitated towards it.

I would love to put WP8.1 on the 950 XL, or put WP8.1 on Lenovo's K80M/P90. I used W10M on the Xiaomi Mi4, and W10M is W10M, so better hardware won't make it run any better.

 

[RumoredNow]

As much as I loved my Veer... And I've seen a couple nods to it now... That size screen just isn't going to get accepted in 2016 and beyond.

I mean I LOVED my Veer and still count it as one of the finest pieces of hardware I ever owned, but I can'y go back there even for a physical QWERTY.

LOVED me some Panda Veer.

 

[Saijin_Naib]

All hail the PandaVeer!

Maybe we could split the difference, slim the bezels, and make the screen a fair bit bigger (and more pixel-dense!) without completely ruining the form-factor. Somewhere between the Veer and the Pre3 rests my ideal device size.

I'll be very happy to get a bigger Nokia N900 with better performance working with Windows 10

 

[mrl515]

I wish I could have something with the ergonomics and customization of the original Moto X, but with modern specs (and a non-potato camera). No phone has ever felt so good to hold in my opinon.

You say that, but if you had a Veer with continuum on it? Slap it in a cradle attached to a monitor or tablet when you need a bigger screen? They could make one so much thinner today too.

I used one earlier this year and the screen size isn't a limitation even now. At least not to me. I would still be using it except I couldn't get my contacts to sync to any of the major cloud email providers (gmail, outlook.com, yahoo). It still did browsing just fine.

Soooo a normal sized Pre?

I have a Pre 2 on a sort-of-standby sitting around, don't think Contact sync is broken yet, although I did get into patching and stuff. Soon the OS will be more patch than OS!

Also wanted to revive my old 2012 Paper Veer again!

That's a good point.

When I pull out my Pre 2 and set it next to my 950Xl, it's just hilariously small. The screen on the 950XL is about twice the height of the Pre 2's screen. My Pre 2 also runs the battery down quickly, making it unusable. But, man, does it fit like a nice river stone in the hand. If I could have Windows 10 on an older phone, I would love it on the Pre 3. On current phones, it would be nice to see it on the Galaxy hardware. Of course, the most useful thing, though not a phone, would be if I could install Windows 10 on my HP Touchpad.

Oh the webOS memories. They pain me still. May Apotheker rot in *bleep!*.
