Not Really An Acronym

So I bought myself a HTC Snap, which isn’t an iPhone :(:(:( but 1) I can’t have a phone with a camera, and 2) I’m getting to know the competition? Excuses.
Anyway it does what it’s supposed to do (surf the internets and manage my schedule) but boy is Windows Mobile ugly. I’m not even talking about bad design because the UI is largely undesigned. For example: creating a contact presents you with an endless array of textboxes, for things you’d rarely fill up like multiple addresses and car phone, work phone, company phone, assistant phone, radio phone (?), pager (!), and government ID (?!). It’s as if they paid people to not fix this shit because I don’t see how any half-decent code monkey could live with this. Seriously! When I add a contact all I want 99.999% of the time is a phone number and maybe an e-mail, so just hide the rest behind a little button. Is that too much to ask. End rant.
