I would like to see some chipset that will support 3G over LTE on GSM with suuport of WIFI while NFC and with Bluetooth ar ON on some OS while tranfering data via USB cable to some WiMax... this is to much! those ware days when you pick a phone, roll the numbers :) and you get bussie signal. Then you drop down the handset, puck up againe and ring it againe untill you got: beeeeep.... beeeeep... and no one answares :)
