Wierdest keypad on a mobile phone ?

Posted: 02-04-2004, 02:54 AM
What's everyone's views on the current trend for wierd keypads on some
mobile phones.

Siemens MC60 ... Form over function.
Nokia 3650 ... Completely non-standard layout, i.e. not 123
456
789
*0#
Xelibri ... There's some really wierd efforts here.

Discuss....

I own a 3650. Nice phone, idiotic layout. What's next? Nokia will
build a Qwerty keyboard into a mobius strip because they think it
"looks cool"?

While I managed to get sort of used to it, I suspect I could use it
more effectively if I smoked whatever Nokia's design team was smoked
when they came up with it...

I should've waited for the 50's replacement, which I hear uses a
"standard" key layout.
