I completely agree with this. And if you're not willing to learn how to use a device, why would you buy one anyway?
Smartphones are sold with the underlying assumption that 'user friendly' equates to zero training or learning. The idea is that UI is so intuitive that you can simply pick the phone up and use it.
It's clear that this novice strategy has upper limit respect to the number of features.
