Can Motorola Q Match the Input and Usability of Nokia 9300 and Treo 700w?
Boston, MA – May 23, 2006 — Strategy Analytics, the global research and consulting company, today released, “Nokia 9300 Best New Converged Device in USA Beating Blackberry 8700c, Palm Treo 700w and Cingular 8125,” its latest converged device benchmark report. These results come from over 70 hours of hands-on consumer testing by the Strategy Analytics Advanced Wireless (AWL) Panel. Strong user ratings for the feature applications, menu/user interface and input of the Nokia 9300 gave it the edge over its competitors, including a 7 point advantage over the Windows Mobile based devices for application usability. However the 9300 was the lowest rated device for perceived style appeal. As found in previous AWL testing, participants who were unfamiliar with a Blackberry struggled with the steep out-of-the-box learning curve of the 8700c. “The Nokia 9300 excelled in the ease of use of its applications, as well as having the most user-friendly menu and simplest means of input,” commented Paul
