I disagree- functionality is function number 1, stability is number two.
My old Nokia candtybar dumbphones are the most stable phones I've ever owned,
but I require more than phone calls and texting.

My WinMo device handles memory rather poorly- the amount of available RAM
decreases throught the day requiring the occasional nightly reboot to
reclaim it- that's a level of "instability" I'm more than willing to put up
with in return for carrying a "laptop" in my pocket.
