I love my 890, but I agree.. why is it that all of these companies are using wizard dialogs for EVERYTHING. They're not an appropriate UI for all things.. Word processors are not wizards, spreadsheets are not wizards. Tomtom did the same thing with their UI.. With the original UI, I could click a bunch of checkboxes to include new language files, and then hit sync. Now I have to click through 4-5 wizard screens for EACH language.
I also agree on the discrete codes. All but my DVD player support them, it took a lot of fiddling to get my harmony to use them.. why not use discrete codes by default.
The phone has 256MB of RAM and a 1GHz processor, which do the job reasonably well, though the Anna interface will likely leave something to be desired for many smartphone users.
