Headphone jack mentioned. I'm not going to stop buying phones based on them until there are no such options remaining, God forbid.

I used to hate phones without the headphone jacket too, even though my headphone lines always needed some detangling out of my pocket when I needed them. But then I tried a pair of Bluetooth earbuds (two earbuds connected with a plastic band to hang on your neck), and actually fell in love. No need to detangle lines, and when I don't listen to things I could just take down the earbuds but leave the plastic band on my neck. Not easy to lose, compared to the completely wireless earbuds. Batteries are in one or both ends of the plastic band, so one charge could last a long time. The only downside is it takes up more space than both wired headphones and wireless earbuds when you put it in a bag, because the plastic band is not that flexible. But that's a cost I am willing to pay.
