Conan,

Given that many people over 30 seem to have and use mobile phones, why on earth don't the manufacturers cater for this market?

Personally, my wish list for a mobile phone is:

- It must be intuitive to operate (why the heck should I have to read an inch thick manual to use a phone?).

- It must have a display that clearly shows the number being dialled, even when the thing is a couple of feet away on a car dashboard.

- It must have buttons that one can stab at from a distance with at least a reasonable chance of hitting the right one, without activating some arcane alternative function.

- It should be a reasonable size, so that it actually fits comfortably in the hand of a normal, rather than sub-miniature, human being.

- It should not be encumbered by pointless, non-primary function, gimmicks aimed seemingly at the pre-teen age group.
