Mobile phone UIs are rubbish

A colleague just contacted me to ask “How do I see more of the emails in my in-box on my phone?”. The answer? Do this:-

Mail -> Options -> Settings -> Email -> Mail for Exchange -> Options -> Edit Profile -> Email -> Sync messages back

and then change that value to be something bigger. And that’s with a UI which is supposed to be good (Nokia S60), for heaven’s sake. It’s no wonder Apple cleaned up with the iPhone when this is the state of the competition.
