The target market for this phone was older people. Well, I'm an older person so I thought I could learn how to use it, and I thought I would be very happy with it. NOT... The user guide was totally non user friendly. Whenever I tried to figure out how to use different functions on my phone, I couldn't just go to one page in the manual, I had to go to several. Back and forth from page to page. And then all that would happen is that I got frustrated. To make a long story short, there was absolutely nothing that I like about the phone or the user manual.<br />
<br />
So, when my son told me I could use his iPhone because he was upgrading to a newer one, I made the change. I felt intimidated by the iPhone because I couldn't even figure an old folk's phone, but was willing to give it a try. Within days I was hooked on the IPhone. LOVED it totally! But, my son had made it clear that I was only using it, and that if he ever needed it again, I would have to go back to using my old phone.<br />
<br />
About three months ago, I got up one morning to find the iPhone in a bowl full of water in the sink. My guess as to how it happened was that I must have left it on the counter the night before and one of the cats knocked it into the sink after I had gone to bed. It didn't work at all, so I had to go back to using the phone I disliked so much. After using the iPhone for a few months and then having to go back to using the old phone, just made me dislike the old phone all the more.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, my son took the iPhone home with him saying he would try to fix it. He is a tech savvy guy, so I was hopeful he could make it work again. It cost $80.00 for parts, but within a week I had the iPhone back. Yeah!<br />
<br />
Okay, so you would think that I wouldn't let anything happen to that iPhone again, right? Well two weeks ago, I found it in a bowl of water in the sink again. This time there was no coming back to life. It was dead, dead dead.<br />
<br />
Now I am back to using my old clunker phone. Sometimes I get the urge to purposely drown this phone, but the funny thing is, nothing bad ever happens to it. It just trudges along.Lindahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09397489986873633318noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-707104986861654698.post-45577370514297194112010-12-13T11:10:00.000-08:002010-12-13T11:10:47.516-08:00Retiree Crafting Get TogetherSunday afternoon a group of us retirees got together for a crafting party.<br />

LOLWelcome to my new blog.<br />
<br />
I just set up my new <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/ThisAndThatInVermont">This And That In Vermont Etsy Shop</a> yesterday. Yeah!<br />
<br />
It usually takes a few weeks for an Etsy Shop to get established, so I was pleasantly surprised to get a sale two hours after opening the shop. Then this morning, I got another sale. Can't complain about that!<br />
<br />
My other Etsy Shop is <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/AllAboutCats">All About Cats</a>, and my other blog is <a href="http://allaboutcatsetsy.blogspot.com/">All About Cats Blog</a>. <br />
