Information was collected in three different ways; a review of the literature, qualitative data from semi-structured interviews and quantitative questionnaires. A comprehensive review of current literature showed that usability is just as important as a technological approach for mobile phone design. It was also apparent from the literature that Nokia and Microsoft still value a user centred design approach as they continue to evolve their partnership. Qualitative data was gathered from semi-structured interviews with three design industry experts. Information from this part of the research yielded many important findings in particular the viewpoint that mobile phones will increasingly become a commodity that may hinder the design approach taken by the Nokia and Microsoft collaboration. Finally, 35 participants were also contacted to complete a questionnaire that targets consumers' attitudes towards aspects of their mobile phone. Results revealed that users still value their user interface style, however when they were asked if they would switch to a different phone, the data indicated that their decision to switch would be due to hardware performance rather than interface style.

In this research of 59 participants, a relationship between familiarity and correctness was found. Also, that other usability and design factors can have substantial influence over this. An online experiment consisting of search-and -select and icon interpretation paradigms was carried out. Users were asked to type in words their understanding of an icon's meaning and to indicate a level of familiarity, for 4 icons. Followed by a task to search and select an icon which best represented the one line scenario displayed from an array of 8, for 8 icons. In this research of 59 participants, a relationship between familiarity and correctness was found. Also, that other usability and design factors can have substantial influence over this.

This study explores consumer's attitudes and behaviour to the concept of sustainability within products in the bathroom industry. Scrutinising these against the actual product development and marketing which is pushing these products as green consumables. 'The possibility that sustainable development may not actually be achievable in any practical sense does not, however, make it any less important' (Walker, 2006). Even if this is true huge steps forward in sustainability can be made within the bathroom industry.
