[nabs-l] iphone problem

Sat Oct 13 23:07:52 UTC 2012

Joshua, not to be rude, but that was kinda off topic for the 
question at hand. While we all appreciate and respect your 
opinion on iPhones and other touch screen devices, that does 
nothing to help those of us who do have iPhones. Many phones have 
contracts, so people cannot switch any old time they want to or 
it will cost a lot of money. Besides, as Jewel also said, many of 
us like iPhones, despite the problems they may have. No 
electronic device is perfect. What works for me might not work 
for you. You saying that iPhones are bad does not help those of 
us who have iPhones solve our problems with them.

To respond to Jewel's comment, I wasn't intending to be rude.
It isn't off topic, because the IFone is a touch-screen device.
I've had trouble figuring them out in the past, so if it has a 
touch screen, I'm usually turned away from it.
That's why I don't want an IFone.
Blessings, Joshua

 Joshua,
 Your comment is of no use to the current topic, and is in fact 
very
 rude. Maybe she *gasp* wonder-of-wonders *likes* having a 
touchscreen.
 Just because you wouldn't do it, doesn't mean other people 
shouldn't.
 You have a tendency to make snarky remarks that are of no help 
to the
 person asking the question and personally, I find it very 
annoying.
 Please stop. As the saying goes, if you have nothing good to 
say,
 don't say anything at all.

 Gloria, I agree. I would rather use the iPhone with a couple of
 minor bugs than use another kind of phone. Like you, I was
 resistent to the whole touch screen thing, but when I went to
 camp at LCB and saw how efficient everyone was with them, I
 decided to get one. It is by far the most accessible and 
advanced
 phone out there.

 Hi,
 I have to say, I was one of the people who said I would neveer
 use a touch
 screen divice, but I am happy to say I have been using the
 I-phone for about
 two weeks or so and I have never been happier. I was nervous at
 the start,
 but with some practice I am having no problems. These things 
just
 take time.
 I love my I-phone and everything I can do with it. I do not see
 myself going
 to anything else.

 That's one reason why I don't like touch screen devices.
 I'd quit Apple altogether, and get a phone with ATNT, that has
 actual
 buttons.
 Blessings, Joshua

 Dear List:

 It's me Sophie again, and my iPhone has yet another weird
 problem. If I call someone on my iPhone, whenever I double tap
 the end button to hang up, my iPhone automatically starts
 playing
 music. The same thing happens if someone calls me and I don't
 answer. This has happened n a couple of very awkward places and
 I
 would appreciate any suggestions y'all might have before I call
 Apple.
 All the best,
 Sophie Trist
