Going back to the old phone

I took a huge step last week. I purchased a new cell phone. 

I cannot keep up with technology. Plus, cell phones change from day to day.

Did you know that cell phones are very expensive ... when you don’t extend your contract .... at time of purchase? For that reason, I needed to purchase a phone that I could live with for one good year.

Prior to purchasing the phone, I troubled myself with the new styles and prices. Almost daily, new phones became available.

To make a long story short, last week I made my selection. The phone has a touch screen, QWERTY keyboard, Google Web search, full HTML Web browsing, integrated Google maps, wi-fi, 3MP camera with auto focus, Amazon MP3 store, Android Market: App Store and a data package.

Whew, my last phone came from the ice age . . . and what a mess I have been since that day.

Before I walked out of the store, I had dialed three persons, by mistake. Do you know if you touch the screen for one second, the phone dials out?

Likewise, I quickly realized that I had too many numbers saved on my sim card and needed to delete some. By accident, I ended up dialing a lady who I met in Delaware four years ago ... at 11 p.m. which was midnight her time.

I became a nervous wreck with my phone. I should have been happy and proud. But, my fancy phone had a touch screen which is very sensitive. You see, you can slide your finger up, or down, and make the screen move. I mean really move.

Have you been on a merry-go-round at its fastest speed? That is what this phone does when I try to locate a phone contact. I’ve been getting headaches just dialing a number.

Add to it, the phone camera is very sensitive, too. The day I left the store, I snapped two pictures of my car door and sent them to my sister before I closed the door.

I told my son Josh that I didn’t like the phone, that I could not read the numbers and needed a bigger phone to hold on to. Josh told me I was describing a laptop.

Oh my, the phone is ringing and I have not mastered reading the incoming number or answering the call without hanging up on the caller

Oh shoot, I just took another picture of myself!
