I had an experience recently. I use my phone for ongoing business 20+ calls a day mostly handsfree whilst driving, I had an upgrade due on my contract and choose an LG 900 Arena, similar to an i phone (enter hoards of indignant iphone owners) I spent a whole day inputting numbers and music etc, I used this new device for the first day and consigned it back to the box (it's for sale if anybody is interested). It is so complicated, six actions to do something simple like pick up messages, and texting forget it. I have gone back to using my good old Nokia 6300 it does all I need quickly and easily.
Believe me I am not a technophobe but it has all got silly. Am I a voice in the dark or is this common.
So my advice get something tactile, compact and keep it simple no smartphones.
Cheers
