...Isn't it kinda silly to have to read through a manual to learn how to properly turn something on? From a console/handheld design standpoint, the Power button should always be visible, clear, and damn easy to use.
I'll be honest, I've not much experience with the QD. I rank about 3-4 hours of use on one, and it's not the most user-friendly device I've wrapped me hands arounds.
But then, if we all had the same opinions and perceptions, the world would suck even more, wouldn't it? *grins*
The N-Gage is much like the toilet seat my parents bought from IKEA: Cheap, neat idea, but was crafted with no logic whatsoever(in the seat's case, the base was not built to stay in place-- it slid around, and made crapping uncomfortable). At least the toilet seat could be tossed out.
One can only imagine if Nokia designed a light bulb...
"To turn on light bulb, move to it and press it in for 7 seconds. To shut off, push light bulb in and twist counter-clockwise until light is no more(about 3 complete turns)."
Wait, was that supposed to cause a reaction of a "laughter" sort, possibly leading to me repeating the joke in mid-laugh and saying "Haha, that's th' greatest!"? Just wondering. I'm actually completely uncertain.
