s60 usability error
s60 is by far the most usable and usability conscious platform for mobile. So when you spot something thats not usable I guess its worth mentioning. I doubt I'd have noticed it on any other mobile OS, but because its s60 it sticks out :)

Hey Nick,
I got it right but I have no idea why? What's wrong with that picture? Looks like they are being asked to choose between WiFi and regular mobile internet access?
Hi Rich,
Yeah they are being asked that - its just setting up an access point, its perfectly normal - you need to move on from your N70 ;)
The usability issue is just so simple - which has focus? It would be obvious if down and up were dead ends - but they arent they flip back through. Or if there were more than 2 items it would work too, but there arent :)
I was fooled twice :((
haha cristi, keep trying :) I think I must have stumbled on this at least 10 times before I remembered which is focus.
Oh now I see. I must just be used to a highlight meaning "selected". Perhaps they could put a solid line around the selection instead. The results are looking quite disturbing!
Terrible.
