Shiny new features get a SQUEE +1 from myself, but it seems like with every new advance in awesome capability some twonk comes along and adds an extra few points to the Stupid, Obscure and Insulting stats of the UI. Pretty much anyone could get through the menus of a 3310 quickly and easily, and all it's really missing off the capabilities of a modern phone are photos, music and internet. So why is my N79 such an utter pain in the unmentionables by comparison? There's many times, despite being a dyed in the wool techno freak (merely an impoverished one, hence, it's not a top of the range Android/8910HD/similar), I've been very tempted to pull one of those trusty old candybars (or better yet the late-90s motorola brick, though it shares with the N79 the disadvantage of not having Snake - or the ringtone composer I used to waste so much time on!) from its dusty retirement home in a fit of pique at some stupid thing Symbian has done to me. After all, I still have a proper camera and MP3 player... and internet cafes still struggle on. hmmm… that could be a way to motivate the users at work who are less willing to take time to make their machinery work rather than calling the emergency help desk for every. little. problem. that most others are able to work out with the help of the incredibly sophisticated sensing and processing engines god/nature gifted them with…
