I am totally fed up. I have a really old Nokia cell phone. Decided on Friday to treat myself to a new one. I wanted a qwerty keyboard. Found a really nice one but when I got it home there was only ONE ring tone and there were other things I did not like - loved the keyboard. On Saturday I took it back. They exchanged it immediately and I decided to pay a bit more and left with a much better phone. I hate it. My fingers must be too big and I keep pressing all the wrong keys - it is a touch screen. It has no instruction book and I cannot send a message or phone. It goes back tomorrow. I am really irritated. Thank you for letting me rant - feel better now!!

Update.
Took the phone back and it appears to have a fault. Told them that I did not want it replaced. Have now gone for a Nokia with qwerty keyboard and loving it.

It seems that nothing comes with an instruction book any more. I just bought a camera and have no idea how to use it.

I got a stylus because of my chubby fingers. Works like a dream..Try them, they have a soft tip and are kinda like a pen. I got a pedometer app and it shows I do about 2 miles a day in steps. Liking mine more and more. Can get instant weather, maps and tons of stuff. Take your friend up on offer to help. My son is my help.

My husband loves a Smart Phone and got me one. I hated it. Then he got me a little flip phone. I didn't like it. Hmmm, I lost it and have no idea where I lost it. Now I have a 3rd phone and tolerate it. Hang in there. I'm sure there is a phone you will like. I also like SQ's idea of a stylus. I think they put instruction manuals on line which is a pain unless you print it out. I hope you do find a phone soon.

I can understand what you mean, even as a computer person I do not like the touch screens. Like hou I guess my fingers are too tick, always type the wrong letter. People said : you have to get used to it. So I gave it a try on an Iphone, or a windows phone, tried long enough... Nope I'm back with my blackberry - with a normal keyboard. At the office we are only with 5 personw left with a blackberry, al the others have Iphone. They somethimes say " dinosaurus" against my phone. Don't care, I just love a good keyboard

Ask to try them in the store... There will be one you like. Try different brands too. Good luck finding one you really like... Suzanne.
