Ring, Ring, Telephone Ring

My phone talks to me before it rings. It tells me the number that is calling. I don’t know why it does that. I did not tell my phone to talk to me. I do not know how to tell my phone anything.

Here are the things I do with my phone: I make calls; I receive calls; I take pictures.

I do not know what to do with the pictures after I take them. The phone gives me lots of choices – “Options” it says in a corner of the screen. Among the options are “Send,” “Set As,” “Take Picture,” “Get New Picture,” “Manage Pictures,” “Rename,” “Full View” and “File Info.”

I tried to “Send” a picture to my email, but could not figure out how to enter an address. I know what “Take a Picture” means. I took a shot at “Full View,” and sure enough, the picture got bigger. The other stuff, I have no idea. How can I “Manage Pictures” if I don’t know what that means?

Sometimes the phone informs me of a missed call an hour later. In February the phone said I had a voice mail from August.

My wife says I need a Smart Phone. No, I do not.

There is no such thing as a Smart Phone or a Dumb Phone. There are only phones that make some of us realize our limitations and lead others to attempt to exceed their limitations.
