STRATEGY ANALYTICS: STRATEGY ANALYTICS: Vodafone and Three Lead UK Mobile Phone Portals; Usability and Design Key Factors in Consumer Preference

Boston, MA -- The Strategy Analytics Wireless Media Lab service
research, "UK Mobile Portals: Vodafone and Three Maintain Lead," shows
that consumers in the UK prefer mobile operator portals from Vodafone
and Three in terms of usability and design over portal offerings from
O2, Orange, T-Mobile, and non-operator, MSN. These findings are based
on in-depth one-on-one research sessions with participants in London,
England.

"Strategy Analytics research shows that consumers preferred the design
of the Vodafone Live! portal, which was seen as more modern than its
competitors," commented Chris Schreiner, Senior User Experience Analyst
at Strategy Analytics. "However, they were not satisfied with the
number of icons on the portal homepage."

Kevin Nolan, Vice President of the Strategy Analytics User Experience
Practice, added, "Our research shows that consumers require a simple
but informative purchasing and downloading experience. Also, when
searching for mobile content most operator portals have room for
improvement."
