Hi Jim
When I first got an iPhone 4, I felt exactly the same as you do now. I
found it hard to answer and end a call, and generally dreaded going near it.
But I decided that if I could use my iPod Touch successfully, then I would
vow to apply the same logic to an iPhone, and embrace it once and for all.
So I did that at the start of this year, and am glad I did now.
I know Steve will shout me down here, but I find the iOS experience slightly
easier than Android. That isn't to say I don't like the latter, I
definitely do. But I find it easier to skip round my iOS devices than I do
my Nexus 7 tablet. I can't explain why, I just find it more of a hassle.
But Mr Nutt will say it is all down to training and getting to know your
device well, and I accept that, (smile). I guess you just feel more
comfortable with some things better than others.
Please don't feel despondent Jim, I think that, if we are being honest, we
have all felt the same way at one point or another.
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

Subject: [access-uk] smart phones and touch screens
Hi List,
Earlier today I wandered into my local O2 shop to investigagte how to
use a smart phone with a touch screen. I tried out both the Samsung
Galaxy S3 and the S4 and had a very difficult and disempowering experience.
I just couldn't seem to get the "double tap" thing going and both phones
kept on bombarding me with loads of information that I founhd
distracting. I came away feeling slightly depressed and disempowered.
Am I alone when it comes to touch phones with speech?
