I think it's really Nokia. I used to have it as my first phone and I think it was very easy to use, compared to other brands I've tried since. It was even the only brand my mother learned to handle that stubbornly refused a cell phone because she couldn't understand the controls. Then I gave her my old one and it worked and she really got used to it. Of course, Nokia is much better today, but I think the basic function of simple operation is the same. If I were thinking about a new mobile phone, I would definitely go to Nokia.
