Nokia series 60 performs worst in usability testing

Via itfacts

The Nokia fans often rave about how the Nokia UI is cool and easy to use… A study by Usable Products Company is saying otherwise:

“Nokia’s newest Series 60 handsets, the Cingular Nokia 6620 and T-Mobile 3660, performed worst in Success Rates, Time to Complete, and Ease of Use.

Only 7% of T-Mobile Nokia 3660 users were able to complete tasks that required browsing for, purchasing, downloading, and installing wallpaper to the phone. Only 23% of Cingular Nokia 6620 users were able to browse, purchase, download, and install ring tones to the phone. These figures contrast with a 100% success rate for ring tone browsing, purchase, download, and installation on the Cingular LG L1400″

Yup: Nokia, it’s time to wake up.
