Effin' Android - what is it in simple ?

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.

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.

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
