N900 Beats the iPhone in Usability

Well , the iPhone UI really innovative . But the N900 is innovative too. And it actually beats the iPhone in terms of usability according to this finding Peter-Paul Koch is a mobile platform strategist, consultant, and trainer in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. He concentrates on Web technologies, mobile websites, and W3C Widgets. Paul handed over some phones to a friend to see what he was comfortable with. Here are the phones which were tested : Nokia N97, Samsung M1, HTC Touch Pro (Windows Mobile), SonyEricsson W960i, Nokia E71, BlackBerry 9500, HTC Pioneer (Android), LG M900, Nokia N900, iPhone. Conclusion from the test He was extremely careful to note that he did so only because he felt that the hardware keyboard and zoom button were most conductive to his personal goal of accessing and working with his online banking site. He could imagine that the iPhone would be better suited for other purposes. This confirms my hunch that Nokia is on the right track with the Maemo platform. The next Maemo phone, I think, will be something to watch. To my surprise he ranked Windows Mobile above Android. Although he liked Android, it did not entirely deliver on its promises as far as B. was concerned. Windows Mobile promised less, but delivered.
