I'm getting old...

I've realised I'm getting old. Yesterday I got home and discovered my new mobile has been delivered. I'm not a technology-geek who has to have the latest gear; the reason I was getting this phone was I'd had the other one for 18 months and it was looking tatty and I could get a new phone for nowt.

So yesterday should have been a relatively exciting day: open the box, put the sim card and battery in, plug it into the charger and off we go. But no. Despite the fact it's exactly the same make as my existing phone (and as the last five or six phones I've had), it appears I am unable to use it.  I don't mean it doesn't work: I mean I just can't get it to do what I want it to do.

Firstly it wouldn't copy my contacts from my old phone (and when it did it's re ordered them so now everyone has individual entries for each number they possess).  Then I couldn't get it not to keep going online when I thought I'd pressed cancel.  And I still haven't managed to work out how to easily lock the keypad.

Maybe this is what happens when you reach a certain age, or maybe it's just that in order to justify bringing out new phones, they need to get more and more complicated.  Lukcily, it appears I'm not the only one who thinks phones are becoming more difficult to use.
