Browser's helpful URL address bar is not actually helpful

[ Edited ]

In context to S60's default browser. When you start browser, it takes you to deafult Bookmarks page with URL address bar at the bottom of the screen. And there is pretyped URL http://www. to make life easier where we can starting typing main part of the web address.

 

This is actually not helpful because -

 

1) most of the web sites we visit from mobile starts with m. or mobile.

2) many mail sites start with mail.

3) and for all those websites which starts with www. can start without even mentioning www (as this has becom norm these days e.g., nokia.com, hotmail.com, ovi.com etc).

 

Lets visit mobile.xyz.com. Since there is no direct way to go to URL address bar (except long way of going through Options), you type random character on the keyboard, this character gets typed in the bar and cursor is finally there, hit backspace 5 times and then you are ready to type the actual URL.

 

What nokia should do is change pretyped URL to just http://

Don't you think this is a common sense?

I agree with you.

It is very confused some time.

Blackbery solved same problem easy. when u open browser default string http://www is already typed and if u pres backspace key (like delete or "C") it will delete www string only. hope nokia will find some solution for it in future
