I would Google it and see what you can find. No reason to deal with that kind of frustration!<br /><br />On the newest iPhone, there's a key on the pad that reads "ABC." When you press it, it becomes "123" and that's how you get your numbers. You have to toggle back and forth between the two. Forget that!

I don't have big hands, but I can't imagine how a guy with large hands can manage to touch all the tiny little 'buttons.'<br /><br />I now have a much better relationship with LG Optimus V phone, though I still have trouble accessing sites that I need a password for. My passwords contain both letters and numbers, and I haven't figured out yet how to switch back and forth between text and numbers. Seems like it should be something simple to do, but I tried all the obvious things and am no closer to solving this problem now, as opposed to a year ago....

I do hate the touch screen but it almost seems there is virtually nothing out there offered without one (in smart phone category). I have used my built in GPS often. Especially when being routed around country roads due to accidents or construction. You have internet access whether you are in a wifi spot or not! If you have a signal, you can access the net. You can look up anything on the spot!

I can't access the internet on there, but I'm fine waiting to use my home desktop computer. This only sucks royally when I go on my annual family vacation because then, I'm at the mercy of waiting in line to use my Aunt's IPAD.

It is like an old fashioned, useful boyfriend who wears a suit with lots of pockets when you are in your party dress- he has everything you need whenever you need it and more besides. <br />I like the apps on the I-phone, I have just found an excellent one for running with. I can do my banking, sat nav in the car and so on.

I love the calendar though, it is the best way to keep track of all the different activities. Now it has a buzzing sound when I talk on the phone. I keep thinking that if I ignore the sound it will just go away and I wont need a new phone. Like I said hate to change. Will probably get another just like it.

If we're in close proximity and we hit it off in writing, we can talk about coffee. :-)<br /><br />Hermione -- the wealth of information out there will make your head spin. If you don't have a cell phone carrier, I would get one of those first and then see them about choices, as a starting point.<br /><br />Loki -- I haven't decided on which one yet, but the salesperson recommended a Droid 3 over the Droid 4. She said I won't know the difference between 3G and 4G, being new to this, and the 3 has a removable battery, whereas the 4 does not (a major hassle, according to the reviews).<br /><br />I'm not going to watch videos on my phone, though. My old eyes like a nice big screen for video viewing. :-)<br /><br />Ronnie -- I probably would get used to the touch screen if I had to. But at this point, I'd just as soon not have to hassle with it. With the Droid, I can have the keyboard and still practice on the touch screen; I like choices. :-D<br /><br />Bobbie Jo -- my old phone works fine as well, although texting with it is a colossal pain in the butt, since I have to do it the old-fashioned way (!) with the number/letter keys. But I really do want the portable Internet.<br /><br />Jade -- no pink for me; I'm going with black.
