I'm in the same boat. Phone company actually asked me why I hardly use it, I think they regretted that.Originally Posted by struth

My phone is an ancient (1.5G) Nokia, with the characters for texting grouped in threes in the numeric keypad. I was thinking of a smartphone where a virtual 'querty' keypad can be put up on the screen. With predictive suggestions you can type fairly quickly.

I can't, never figured out how that predictive thing works and I've had a cellphone since 1996

left word what u typed middle what it thinks you mean(ie what you often use) and end what it might be if what youve typed is what you do mean. auto correct is better off unless you like it slagging folk off

It took me over a year to get used to my iPhone, at which point it died. It wasn't new, and not worth repairing. The Missus bought me a replacement, made by Albaand it's awful! Alarm works sometimes, ringtones seem to change on a daily basis (currently text messages are announced with a lengthy AC/DC sample). The touch screen is sometimes unresponsive, but I think it may be down to dry hands. If I lick my fingertip first, it seems to like that.

Work issued me with a new iphone 6 with 128 GB when I started the job. Not was I very grateful I also learnt that for my next phone I definitely do not want another iphone.

After watching some of those Channel 5 programmes (the ones that make you want to throw stuff at the TV, I'm talking about the benefits programmes, like "28 kids, and trying for another"), I've decided that the smarter the phone, the dumber the user.
I may be the exception to this theory. Couple of weeks ago I tried using the Sat Nav to find an address, and drove round in circles for over an hour before I realised it was just displaying my position on a map, not the destination. If I knew how to get the sim card out of it, I swear I would have launched that piece of crap out of the window

That's given me a good laugh this morning.
I've recently bought an inexpensive smartphone, an Alcatel A3 XL for £125 sim free.
Might not be the fastest out there but excellent on all other counts.
