Compare your cell phone to other cell phones in the class; hypothesize about the differences you see. What design decisions may have motivated those differences?

N.B. This is an analysis, not a competition. Cell phone purchasers pick phones for many reasons not related to usability (cost! durability!), reasons we are ignoring. Allowing users to perform a task faster is one factor in making a phone better, but not the only one, and your essays should reflect that. This is not a race; just because a phone is slower at some task does not make it "worse." (It might be slower but more reliable, or slower but much cheaper.) Your essay should be an examination of trade-offs and design decisions for different phones, not a "my phone is better than yours, nee-ner, nee-ner, nee-ner" competition.

You must suggest at least one change that would improve the results of the GOMS analysis of your cell phone. Be specific. Try to find a change that would improve the usability of some aspect of your phone you care about. (If you text frequently, is there a way to make texting easier? If you use the camera frequently, is there a way to make taking a photo faster?) Be sure to specify where performance would get worse, with your suggested change. (For example, your change might make texting faster, but calling slower.) Note that a faster CPU or a bigger screen will not change the GOMS analysis results at all, since GOMS is all about the actions a user must take, not about the machine.
