Yesterday morning, whilst still naked and in bed, C's phone starts making a new noise.

She picks it up and starts fiddling with it as we both discuss what it's doing.

Hey look, it's one of our grandsons chatting.

Lots of laughter in the background, "mum, it's on camera mode".

Didn't know it could do that.

Still,not as bad as when I couldn't get the WiFi to work at the local Wetherspoons, asked the young couple behind the bar to try and gave them my phone.

" it's easy, says them, like this ",tap tap tappety tap and " oh! ".

They both looked surprised and handed me back my phone which had gone straight to Fabs.

Ho hum.

i get amazed when i find out what my things can do and whenever i ask someone to help me with my internet it goes straight to fab apart from the time the nice young man in the bank was downloading the banks app for me and something came via text and he opened my texts to be greated with my last conversation

I'm not used to my new phone noises yet and I don't always get a notification once the banner notification has gone. I have to go through all the possibilities to see who has messaged me. I'm terrible with Kik as I forget to check it.

I used to be able to text one handed.

I used to be able to initiate a hands free voice conversation from a single button press on the squawk box hands free.

I used to get a full week from a single charge.

Whilst I get the whole mobile interweb thing, I want a phone that does the basics well, anything else is a bonus.

Ideally, I'd like a phone with a small screen and tactile keypad on one side for basics, and a touch screen on the other side for web and apps.

It can provided you program it to say "oi you have a text" or "num nuts you have a phone call press the green button".

It is very easy to do. Start by opening the user manual and reading it. It will tell you how to do things like that and lots more!;-)

User manual fttttt a little pamphlet that tells you how to charge it and turn it on the problem is if they supplied you with a user manual nowadays it would be like the encyclopaedia BrittAnica manuals contain the basic the rest is hidden on the phone in a secret area that you only stumble upon when you have broken everything

it's a conspiracy I tell ya

Why don't you get a voice recorder app, record those phrases, then set them as your desired notifications ?

No...

If you read the manual it will tell you where the online manual is.
