comp2 1 Report post Posted April 25, 2013 The biggest user complaints I am hearing is the lack of physical buttons and the motion to get to the home screen you have to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

velma 6 Report post Posted May 1, 2013 Honestly, I miss all the old phones I grew up using. All the "smartphones" look the same and lack a spark... I am a small person so all smart phones end up feeling really clunky... I have a Galaxy Tab 2 & a Huawei chat u8300 , despite the performance difference, I prefer the Chat u8300 purely because it is comfortable. It is unfortunate that Blackberry had to jump onto the touch screen band wagon, I too agree about the lack of physical buttons, My partner used to have a blackberry, my entire user experience was based on how perfect the keypad was. I for one cannot wait for a change in mobile touch pads, qwerty is not really efficient. Overall, the design , interface and usability of the Z10 is not really impressive.. It comes off as just another by product of the mobile mill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leaves a rather small dislay, of course, but it's enough for phone calls and SMS jobs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

velma 6 Report post Posted May 1, 2013 today smartphones aren't just for calling and texting... people reside to their mobile as a companion, i see great growth in people today spending more time staring down their mobile phone screen then actually interacting directly with others Oh come now, you remember those really funky phones from the past, Sidekick Lx 2009 from T mobile, the sony walkman phone with a swivel screen. BlackBerry Torch 9810 was a nice design too... Besides, smartphones are highly over rated, reminds me of my old discman That's why I bought a old-blackberry-like phone, with real buttons for text typing purposes. Leaves a rather small dislay, of course, but it's enough for phone calls and SMS jobs. I have a really old Nokia phone, I still use that phone up to this day , the polyphonic tones still fascinate me. I have a habit of writing articles for my own website while traveling to & fro work and for this I need physical buttons so that I maintain speed without having to look at the screen (maintaining correct posture is necessary or my back ache gets real bad). The huawei phone comes in handy at these times, I cannot hold the tablet in both hands so I hold the tablet in one hand while typing with the other (80's Keytar style).
