These days UX/UI designers in general seem to be more focused on shiny than usability.

multitouch.
most people hold phone in one hand, therefore there is only ONE thing on the screen, a thumb.
or,
two hands, two thumbs,
or,
support with one hand, use fingers of other hand, four digits.
the famous "pinch to zoom" function which is de rigeure, is an obsolete function 1/3 time, so when compared to the "corkscrew" we have (browser N900), could anyone justify pinch to zoom?
screen/phone size.
who the hell can actually operate a 4.3" device in one hand?
i sure can't, let alone comfortably reach ALL of the screen.
can anyone justify these ridiculous sizes?
Internal storage.
nokia + apple are only phone companies that provide any level of storage. why?
and lastly a slightly subjective one, but all modern mobiles look the same.
there's nothing left of the old HTC diamond with their unique cases, NOKIA is only company that shows consistent individuality. even the LG designer series is dead after that amazing BL40..
how can they think by releasing clones of each other, they can win?
seriously, these are some of the things bugging me about the industry today. could somebody tell me what i'm missing?
and on a side note, i decided not to get an N9
NOKIA had finally gone too far.
but after searching for something else, I couldn't find any alternative!
64gb internal storage?
ability to operate in one hand?
unique design?
global warranty?
solid construction? (the amount of people that have totaled there phone from a hip-height fall is ridiculous)
and it can't be said enough, it's such a breath of fresh air.
sure it could've been so much more, but it's still the best.
it's sort of how usaine bolt won the 100m.
he won easily, setting a new record.
he could've absolutely destroyed the old record, but he only did enough to win.
so we see this, yay, new fastest man, but we're all disappointed.
what could he have acheived if he hadn't held back?
and that's the N9.
Thoughts?
ps, kudos if you read the whole thing!
