I’m a Nokia fan, currently using an N73. 3.2 MP camera with a mechanical auto-focus lens and shutter and an excellent flash and macro mode. 40 MB of internal storage and a 1 GB memory card. Stereo speakers, a very good MP3 player. Opera web browser, MS Office-compatible document editors, Adobe Reader, and hundreds of third-party apps easily available. My favorite phone so far, but I’m such a phone dork that I think I already have my next one picked out. Now I just have to wait for it to come out.

wondering why some extras on a phone are so damned awful.

I mainly object to camera phones, because cameras are very restricted where I work. For people who work in places like that, and who have no desire to take pictures with their phones on their own time, a camera phone is less useful than a phone without a camera.
I don’t understand why people want to have a camera with them everywhere, either. But, then again, I’m the opposite of photogenic, and I hate having my picture taken.
Other than on camera phones, though, I agree with you, though- it being too easy to access features that you get charged for, or having to wade through lots of menus to turn up the volume, is a user-interface issue, not an issue of the number of features the phone has.
