Also, replace-ability of parts. I am not speaking of hi-tech LCD panels and touch-screens, oh no; I am speaking of simple, plain screws. Why do they have to have special, black-colour, large-flat-hat screws, which are difficult to find, when simple silver-ish-colour, small-hat screws are cheaper and sold in hundreds (for eyeglasses repair or something)?
It's like keys in a laptop keyboard: the keyboards are different, the keys are different, so if one or two keys break... Ok, there is http://www.laptopkey.com/ for that. Still, if you go to extreme and calculate price of all the keys in your laptop's keyboard, it will be comparable with price of laptop: they have to have their profit from that.

Another one I will add to the list.
Phone Calls - This isn't necessarily a smartphone exclusive but modern feature phones and smartphones really aren't that great when it comes to call quality and reception/signal.

Holy truth! The old "dumb" phone did the job of being phones perfectly. In the new "smart" phones, the phone feature looks like an after-thought. "Let's build this cool new device that can do 200 different things" - then, two weeks before the release, "Oh sh*t, we forgot that people may also want to make phone calls with it, we need to bash something together quickly!"

The drive has now shifted to how close devices can get to a traditional "Desktop experience" without necessarily considering if that is the correct approach.
