Very true, a few years ago series 40 phones had an excellent UI as the
features were within the original specs. Some of the most recents
phones have been awfully bad from this perspective but it seems that
they're working on it as 6230 has decreased the first-level items to 9,
the basic UI is very much the same but things have been moved around --
for good or bad, I don't know yet.
A few years ago I used T68i and although it had some pretty good ideas,
the basic UI was poor.
It's suprising how underrated the importance of good UI is.
