all I can say is, too bad for you (and others who prefer the old school way).
though, I can relate how you feel about it. similarly, I always wished there's a phone like 808 and somehow manage to at least have physical keypads. i find that even after few weeks of using 808, I still can't get used to the touchscreen input yet, and I don't think I'll ever achieve the same convenience and speed like I can do on physical keypad. all I can do is to live with it, or find alternatives like separate camera and old school keypad phone.

If someone to implement all in one the best the phone might end up 5K and later not many will buy it. In marketing it's not really logical.
Just imagine a 5.5inch Amoled , 41MP Carl Zeiss optics, quad core processor, 1gb ram, polycarbonate unibody with curve glass, bose dual stereo speakers, 3000mAH battery capacity, 720 x 1280 clear black display, dual OS boot, fm transmitter, dual sim. Example if this cost 4K will you buy?
even Samsung S3 have cheap casing and crappy so called crappy glass below average camera already 2.2k if you add Nokia premium stuff maybe will double the price.
Different OS suit different market share and most of people perspective does not apply to the world market share.Like mass storage I haven't use this for like 3years already I am okay. Like my dad using iPhone he only send emails, make phone calls, SMS, facebook and latest social apps everything else is optional so when u said limitation, lack of features it doesn't effect him. So it depends on different market share. It's more about your personal preference.
Everyone keep insist their point of view is correct but what matters is the product sells. One can insist this the best but when the product can't sell it means the product is bad
Like now most manufacturer are smart they make they phones as Flimsy as possible so people end up buying more accessories like screen protector and casing. Smaller battery capacity so you might buy aportable charger In business point of view profit is good.
