Another Desert island Desktop interview, where someone's Smartphone comes under the microscope. I took a few moments at the recent Smartphone Show to sit down with Symbian CEO Nigel Clifford to find out what applications he's loaded onto his device.

And the icons on the standby screen all look horribly familiar. There's the Messaging Client, Calendar, Calculator, Web Browser, Alarm Clock and 'New message'. The only move away from the default is Worldmate, a Swiss army knife style application for the frequent traveller (reviewed here). Why the lack of change from the out the box version?

"Customising [each device] back to any preferences is a lot of effort", explains Clifford. As one of the most visible points of contact for Symbian, he goes through a lot of devices; and to illustrate that point he lifts the latest Samsung phone out of his jacket pocket. "I'm happy and familiar with the default, so using that is fine by me."
