A better calculator: Why aren’t you built in?

Here is what the calculator looks like on my E61:

Now I’m not saying it does it’s job poorly, a calculator is a calculator, but the UI is brutal. Can we get something a little bit more efficient? Better yet, why not include an advanced mode?

Check this application out:

Ncalc20scr_1

The UI on that one is even more frightening, but it has advanced options.

Message I’m trying to convey is there isn’t anything you can do feature wise to improve a calculator. All the work that lies in making "Calculator Application A" better than "Calculator Application B" is in the user interface department.

So please Nokia, make it easier to use, and bring the advanced features as an option. All you have to look at is the Windows calculator to see that by default it does it’s job very well, but then you can go into the settings and reveal a scientific computing powerhouse.
