bubba sez "whats texting?"
JK aside in japan users identify the phone UI with the operator. I might
ask someone how to eg change input method on a toshiba phone and they
will say "oh, dont know how to use docomo" rather than the fact they use
a panasonic... even tho the P UI is kind of standardised across dcmo & vf
btw two of the new FOMA phones (N&P) are sharing a lot of UI code (like
Series60) basically. Unfortunately it looks like the NEC engineers won
out as it looks like their weird text ui, kind of like console output
instead of dialog boxes. Maybe thats why the SH900 is doing so well...
