Why all the love for the Motorola RAZR?

[DeeBye]

My Nokia interface: up and down scroll, clear, and one "action" button.
My Wife's Motorola: up and down scroll, clear, select, send/option/side scroll, and end/option/side scroll.  It's crazy, and the newer phones are even worse.

Granted my Motorola V635 has a lot of buttons, but they make sense. I can do anything within a couple of logical buttons presses. If I want to call my babysitter, I hit the left soft key, scroll down twice, and hit the select (or phone on) key.

Here is an image which will likely confuse you but makes perfect sense to me.


The three buttons across the top are the left and right "soft keys" and the middle menu button. The soft keys can point to anything. I chose my Phone Book and the video function for mine, but they can be set to whatever you use the most.

The middle button in the top row is always the menu button. Think of it as the right-click context menu.

The big round arrow key area in the middle is self-explanitory. Use it to scroll around menus and such. The button in the middle is a select key.

The internet and camera buttons I could do without, but they are clearly labelled.

The green phone on and red phone off buttons are a given.

I'm quite accustomed to using the Motorola interface and it feels comfortable to me. There is nothing I can't do within a few clicks of the correct buttons, and backtracking is a snap.
