Hi Carol Certainly from my point of view, I find it pretty straightforward to answer and end a call using my iPhone 5, much easier than it ever was on the 4. Mind you, I have got wise to iOS since those days. The 4S will probably drop off next year, though this is my guess not fact! Telorion is certainly good from a tactile perspective when you are out, or in a noisy environment, and you can drop out of it and go to Android if you wish. It is good to have options.

I love my iPhone 4S but now I have to decide whether to upgrade or buy something else because I think the IOS for the 4S is not to be upgraded any further. The TellOrion is a bit of a temptation to me because the one thing I really do not like is having to use the iPhone in crowded, noisy places. (I'm not a great fan of earphones all the time.) The other rather annoying problem is that in recent versions it has become harder to answer and/or end a call and this is just getting to me, because that's what a phone must do! Other that these niggles though, I love my iPhone for a number of apps and reading!
