  1. Im not that old but when i went from a brick to a galaxy i struggled with it a fair bit
    When i went from a glaxy to an i phone it sort of explained itself as i went along

    I only use it for checking things on the net quickly for anything that needs a decent sized screen i use the laptop
     
  2. Hang on until Sept 9 when the iPhone 6S is launched, then get one and blow us all out of the water.
    I've got an old iphone and an iPad mini and they do me fine. Best feature of the phone is that you can talk to it and it types - in a text or email - what you say. Magic. And v fun working out what rude words are in its vocab. (F-word, no. Supercalifragelisticexpealidocious, yes!) It's a function called Siri.

    Zed Gradually getting grumpier

    That really doesn't sound like me at all. I don't even have a TV. I do need to play catch up though, then I can stick with whatever I get for another decade or two...

  4. Get the iPhone 6 and play leapfrog instead! They're really easy to work.
    Must be. I can use one...
     
  5. Do you not get funny looks walking down the street muttering "f***" into your iPhone :)

    When I came back from Spain and got a new phone the lady in the shop said I will transfer your data. I said I don't have Internet or blue tooth (or a camera for that matter)
    She scoffed slightly and said it could be done, I then showed her my old phone :), oh! Was the response :).
    I then did it old school and wrote out my address book and then typed it into my new phone :)

    Ps out of contract for past 6 months and asked for iPhone 4S , one up from current, and shop said not possible :(. The new iPhones are bigger and IMHO more fragile, which is no good for work phone as it goes in my pocket and gets dropped frequently :)
     
  10. 4S would be the one to go for. It's still phone-sized. They're six shillings on eBay.
