Hi Jackie.
Well, I have to say that its a real shame. A lot of the problems you
describe re texting can be overcome with a good Bluetooth keyboard, and
there are a handful of keyboards out there that mirror keyboards on Nokia
and Blackberry devices for those who want the experience of a qwerty
keyboard on a phone instead of the touch keyboard on IOS devices. The IPod
Touch is a nice device to be sure, but it lacks many of the features of the
IPhone like a decent back camera and most of all, an internal GPS receiver.
Obviously though as you say, the IPhone isn't for everyone so I wish you
well with your Nokia's. I'm not following talks development much these days
truth be told, so I'd be interested to hear what's happening with it of
late.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Subject: [access-uk] No more iPhone!
All,
I am happy and relieved to say that I no longer have an iPhone, just my iPod
Touch 64GB and fifth generation Nano. I just could not get on with the
phone side of the device. I found it hard to text, which took me so much
longer than doing so on a regular keypad that I could feel. And I get a lot
of texts, so it became time-consuming, laborious and very frustrating.
There were just things I disliked enormously about the iPhone as a phone,
including its bulkiness. So I asked O2 if they would downgrade me on my
Simplicity contract to where I was before, and port my mobile number to a
regular SIM card. They did this straight away. In fact, the iPhone was off
within 20 minutes to half an hour.
Happily for me, my SIM that they sent out in the post works not only on my
N86, but also on my beloved N91 handset, so I am as happy as Larry to be
back to Talks. Those of you with the iPhone will doubtless feel I've thrown
the towel in and given up. Dead right! I love my iPod Touch, and finding
apps to try out, but I just did not like the iPhone, and as my son's third
gen device came to a sticky end recently, he has become the beneficiary of
my beast.
So, in conclusion, it's not for everyone, including me! (smile).
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns
