Got a new phone months ago, not practical as it is too big and smart for my use - a speak and tect phone with memory is all I need.

Got it charging and cranked up

It is only letting me google sites first - can't work out how to go directly to other than google.

Little bugger laughing at me coz I need to print off the 70 pages download off the net to be able to use it.

Halfway there on the printer .....

So, ANDROID ?? wtf ?

oh, and with the keys, I can see them in good low volt halogen downlight, then as soon as I touch them, they light up and then the letters blend into the buttons, have to turn lights off or teach keyboard not to light up in daylight ??

AAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaarrrrrggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh :(

As an operating system I hate android. Was really hard to use.
Depends which phone you get too a bit.
I'm in love with my iPhone 4S, birthday pressy.
It is really simple to use. Does what I need a phone to do. And obviously a bit more as well.

Cheers Cam

I've got 70 pages printed out, still scattered on the floor as they fell from the printer at 1.00am ? and I have worked out how to go to a web site like this one, sign in etc, but mate, as soon as I touch a key in lit (natural or artificial) the keys light up so I can't see them- white light on white keys ?? fmd ! . get in the dark and the lit keys are fine, just a bit tiny

Hu ar we U8350 has little square screen for busy dudes on the go

Aw, great stuff this phone, no nice announcement on the scren I have missed a call like any other bloody phone I've had. I have to interrogate it to see if missed anything, no longer just a glance :( not happy )

Buy a Nokia 3315.

It's not androids fault. It's a cheap phone coupled with lack of user knowledge.

Sent from my Motorola RAZR HD

Always preferred Nokias way of working, yet have got so used to a $14 Alcatel that goes for a week without needing a charge, fits in my pencil pocket.

The 70 page instruction manual downloaded and printed off helps with lack of user knowledge.

The choice was simple when I bought it - last one left :)
