My first mobile phone was a Nokia 5160.
The Nokia 5100 series further demonstrates Nokia’s commitment to individuality and ease-of-use, featuring Nokia’s innovative and highly intuitive Nokia NaviKey concept- a new feature that lets phone owners use a single button (the NaviKey) to easily access all the powerful functions of the phone.
Can you imagine what my experience with mobiles would have been if I had started with another phone from a different manufacturer? I so took to the phone that, thereafter, I flogged every non-Nokia phone I reviewed because they were so hard to use (I had something to compare them to). I remember, for example, using a phone that was impossible to use and having a hard time doing anything basic, like saving numbers to the contacts or trying to call an already-dialed number from the log. Sheesh!
I’ve been a bastard about the mobile experience ever since.
What really puzzles me is that the phone came out about 7 years ago and still manufacturers are struggling with their phone UIs. What’s that all about
