I never ever ever accidentally call someone when the phone is in my pocket, because it gets locked when I'm done with it. In fact, I never accidentally do *anything* on my iPhone. Never happened with my flip-phone either, but certainly the capacitive touch screen has not reintroduced that problem for those who are willing to learn how to use them.
Yes!
These rants are absolutely hilarious. It's like saying you hate calculators because you can't slide the buttons like on your abacus.
I thought I'm alone in thinking so. To me these rants are eery - I can't recognize in them one single problem I've actually experienced. I do recognize the frustration though - some systems are indeed designed with next to no regard for usability design. Last time I've seen that was on a Delta flight. If the UI designer optimized for something, it must have been the maximization of the number of key presses for doing anything.
