And that is why we have a cell phone that just calls and answers... :lol:

Ok..this one does have a camera, but no cord to attach to get those
pictures off the phone? I'm thinking they must have forgotten to put that
in the box?
Anywho....since reitrement..it sits on the cupboard, unused....
We used to put call forward on it from the office number for Don when he was away from the plant
and I wasn't at the office yet...
The new owners call, looking for Don..first thing I do is check the counter to see
if he has the cell phone...he never takes it with him...so I have to tell the guy
I will see Don later in the morning at Tim Hortens and will tell him to drop on by 8-)

You have to wonder, how did we exist before cell phones???
Who did we have to call throughout the day that we couldn't wait till we
got to a land phone???
And why is it so important to check Facebook every few seconds to see that your
friends are now eating a chocolate chip cookie, or some such important event?? :lol:

Isn't there a teenager in neighbor you could slip a few dollars to and have them show you how to use your phone?

Cat, I start thinking I want one but I would be nuts trying to figure it out and messing it up. If you are having trouble, I can't imagine where I'd be. :roll:

BTW, I messed up my toolbar yesterday and somehow my Yahoo Messenger came up for no reason and you seem to be chatting. Now I know why. You were playing. :lol: :lol:

I will let you borrow one of my kids to show you how to use it....how do you think I am learning my new one. Each one of the kids take turns showing me things and where things are. I can successfully place a call, answer a call and send a text.....

I got this phone because my sister has it and said it's the best! Now, where is she when I need help???? Viet Nam!!! I loaded the Skype app and was able to talk to her this morning and she's laughing at me, too!

Mine isn't up until October and I want the new Iphone. You give commands by voice and then the phone tells you when to do stuff with a voice, can't remember her name

I figure at my age I need all the help I can get remembering things.

The new 4S is Seri, Dianne. She is very cool. Kathy got one when her upgrade came around and my husband's friend has one...the phone is a hoot! If you ask Seri "Why does he make me so angry?" She responds with "This isn't about me, this is about you!" If you ask her how she is...she will respond and tell you how she is and what day it is...LOL

LOL @ Linda!!!

It's hard at first, Cat but you will figure it out...then you won't be able to go anywhere without it!!
The manuals are useless to me - I usually google things or call customer support - they might think i'm ridiculous but I don't care

- if all else fails I hand it to Luis and ask him to figure it out for me

I am hoping to get the iphone with Siri soon but my friend has it and I was playing around the other day and Siri was not doing what she was told

so i'm not sure yet.
