Strategy Analytics: Nokia E75 - Two Keyboards Better Than One
Full QWERTY and ABC Keyboards Provide Options BOSTON--(Business Wire)-- The recent Strategy Analytics Wireless Device Lab benchmark report, "Mobile Device User Evaluation: Nokia E75," evaluates the usability of messaging, contact management, sound settings, calendar and other core features. The Nokia E75 performed well and had an overall high success rate for most tasks, however the Strategy Analytics benchmark team observed some usability issues related to capturing a picture, applying an image to a contact and setting the phone to silent. The E75 also provides users with both a full QWERTY keyboard and a 12-key ABC keypad, which participants found useful. "Having two keyboard options means that participants can use the 12-key ABC keyboard one-handed or for short messages," commented Christopher Dodge, Analyst in the Strategy Analytics User Experience Practice. "They also have the option of the full QWERTY keyboard for longer messages." Paul Brown, a Senior Analyst in the Strategy Analytics User Experience Practice, added, "One aspect of the Nokia E75 that frustrated participants was that it would lock the phone every time the QWERTY keyboard was closed."
