As the arguably sophisticated Nokia N97, Nokia N86 and iPhone 3G S go on sale in the UK today, it's been revealed that 60% of UK consumers think mobile phones are "overcomplicated with unnecessary features".The data from mobile phone recycling company Fonebank's recent survey also states that over a third say "simplicity of use" is the most important factor when buying a new mobile, with 45% not looking for MP3 playback and 30% not bothered about the camera's quality.
61% - that we guess won't have been queuing at any smartphone launches this morning - think phones have too many unnecessary features, compared to 10 years ago, while 73% think phones are less reliable now.
Giving an indication of the tastes (or maybe age group) of those surveyed, the 1000-plus respondents voted the Motorola RAZR as the UK's favourite mobile phone of all time. Phones, Mobile phones, Mobile phone industry, Statistics, Surveys, Fonebank
