Well it's OT to get into in great depth here, but anything that starts by holding a video screen to your ear, is pretty bent. But even some little stuff, like button size and placement, and on my dumb phone messages that don't pop up at just the wrong time, would be a good start. J. |

And those new big screen phones are not far removed from that. I still like the smaller 3.5" screen phone I have and hope they keep at least some of the new phones in that size. I used to carry my Palm Pilot and mp3 player around. Now that's all in one small package that surfs the internet and makes calls too. IMO that's progress even if I do have to hold the screen up to my ear... 8-O |
