ok so all of what the artical is true
But the old push button cell phone is going away with granny as we do not use the old crank phones or party lines .
it is the same way in learning anything new My husband nows the iphone and it took him 2 months to keep from pitching it out the window , now it goes everywhere he goes he calls it his companion.
with the introduction of bard , money and color ids , and to search the web using seri .
it is just a learning curve as with everything , some will pick it up fast and others may take a long time , do you want to go back to smoke signals
i do find it is much easier to use a keyboard with the smart phone

If his article scares some off from trying the iPhone, then I would say the iPhone most likely was not a solution for them. I am a proponent of truth in advertising, and cannot stand people who tell you how great a solution a product is for you, leaving out all the struggles they had with the item. I like to have an idea what I am signing on for and truly appreciate those who are honest and upfront about the challenges they faced with any particular technology they have adopted. Oh yes, many say that one individual's experience with a technology may not represent what someone else will experience. That is fine. Still tell me the whole truth about your experience and let me decide from there if I want to give it a try. If I decide not to try something based on feedback on that item from another user, so be it. At least I got to decide for my self. .
