iDon't like the iPhone

My first phone

iDon't like the iPhone. iDon't understand why so many people like it except many people think it is the only smart phone. I have had a regular, non-smart phone for a long time. Last year I finally broke down and got a Win 7 phone. At first I didn't like it because it was not an iPhone. I got used to it and it was useful to me ... but, I kept thinking, it wasn't an iPhone.

In Monterey in 2003.

A week ago I got an iPhone because it WAS an iPhone. Then I found out I couldn't open Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) documents. Then I found out I couldn't text as easily hands free. I had to push buttons to text, not just speak into my bluetooth. My Win 7 phone would speak the text messages to me automatically and then I could speak into my bluetooth and say "send" and the phone would send the message. The iPhone has great apps, but I found out I never used them. The iPhone has Siri and I could just tell it to do things and it would do them. I felt like I was part of the BIG group when I had iPhone. Next month I will give my iPhone to my daughter and I will get another Win 7 phone. If you have an iPhone and love it then GREAT, I'm happy for you. If you don't have an iPhone then don't just presume it is the best thing just because everyone else has one. It feels good not to do something only because everyone does it. I feel young again!!
