pls make android interface as simple and user intuitive as nokia is. Having too many options and choice is a paradox, as users get bogged down.
 
Android is as simple or as complicated as you want it to be, that's the beauty of it. My mum, a complete technophobe, has the HTC Desire and she says it's simple and loves Android. What exactly are you having a problem with?

Isn't Symbian (The OS used in Nokia phones) dying out because it's so unintuitive & sluggish?

That aside, I think you've posted in the wrong forum mate, there's no one here who can make Android simpler, none of us (to my knowledge anyway) work for Google/Android.
 
The organization on a Nokia phone is very simple. If you want anything to do with connectivity, it's in one place. You may have choices there, but it's still in the same folder. Your tools are also mostly in the same folder. You can also forbid anything to run. I don't like FB and most social sites, I couldn't get rid of them, but could forbid them to call out and hide the icons in another folder so I never saw them. Period. I can not put them on the screens in Android, but if I hit applications, they are there.
Nokia could hide them entirely by sticking them in another folder, well away from what you did use.
The C6 also had a better camera than my SGS4G.
Nokia and OVI were the pains.
Neither Symbian nor Android are as efficient as a PDA as a BB.
Symbian didn't have the apps that Android does which is the drawback.

Nokia/Symbian does have a Palm emulator either built in (Maemo N500) or available for purchase. Which is handy as most of the medical apps from years ago were written for Palm.
I ran Astromist which is a Palm and now Iphone/pod/pad app, and superior to anything Android has out. (Yet)
The Android phone has much more going for it, since you can get the apps and have a real choice.
 
Most 3rd party launchers allow you to hide unwanted apps in the drawer. For example, I have hidden my lookout security app to make it less obvious if my phone gets stolen.

by BB, do you mean Blackberry? I am forced to use a Blackberry for my work and I honestly can't think of one redeeming quality. I will never understand how people can use them for their regular phone. Doing anything with it is horribly unintuative. Well OK, the battery life is nice.

Perhaps a smart phone isn't for you? 9 and 10 year old kids figure out how to use the things I havent locked in a few minutes of touching the phone

bbm!
 
I was a heavy PDA user (Clie) and the organization on the BB made sense.

I could set which group I wanted to appear in caller lists - I had family (everyone I call) Friends, (that was actually business) and Business got turned into Spammers with obscene names and a silent ringtone. I did not want the spammer list showing up on the phone normally. I can't do this with Android as it sits.

I do have the SGS set up as a PDA, and mostly it's not too bad.
