I like how you implied malicious intent over a totally pedestrian point to support your obvious biases (as if somebody using the dial pad could be interested in signal strength!) Nice try.
- sprout 16y agoIt's marketing designed to make the Droid X look bad. It's by definition malicious.
- jonhohle 16y agoHonest question: is that not the app used to make calls on the Droid X? If it looks overcomplicated, how is that anyone's fault but Motorola/Google? Apple certainly didn't design the interface for placing calls on a competitor's device.
- blueberry 16y agoIt's just less simpler than the home screen with a nice background, however, there is no reason why anyone would open the dialpad to carry this experiment.
- sprout 16y agoAll one would ordinarily do to check call strength is look at the home screen. For me the dialpad is a very infrequently used app, and I rarely use it to make calls. In any case, why are you so hostile to the idea that Apple was being intentionally malicious? If I were trying to discredit a competitor's product, I too would choose the most unattractive space I could to highlight it. Given that the signal strength is shown in most apps, you certainly have a wide choice.
- jonhohle 16y agoThat is the app where (for most people) signal strength matters most. To me, it seems contextually relevant.
