Today I made a phonecall on a borrowed iPhone, because my own was dead of battery and I needed to let Rob know what I was doing with his three children, and then later had a go on Rob's Android. And in spite of the perennial Rob-demonstrating-tech thing of him wanting to show me how it worked by doing everything for me faster than I could follow (we sort of wrestled it from each other a couple of times and did NOT descend to a public row, in spite of both being exhausted and very very cold and tired and the tech thing being one of our Things, like how to stack the dishwasher (my way is just better, ok?) and how much laundry detergent to use) I think I could comfortably use it.

Erk.

I am incapable of learning anything tech from my husband. It just Does Not Go Well. Much like us trying to agree on lighting fixtures.

My xperia android phone has a very convoluted way of ringing someone, unless I'm missing a shortcut.


Dialler - list - scroll through for name - click on name - click on number to bring up that person's details - click on number again to dial them.

Phew!

I think you can start typing the name and once it's selected you hit the green button to dial if my Android 2.1 phone is anything to go by. It is a bit more complex but most modern phones are.

And unlike a button button phone you have to watch what you're touch-screen typing cos you're never 100% sure your keypresses have registered correctly.

My husband hasn't quite grasped that the best way is to let me do it while he tells me.

We've only been married 18 years, there's plenty of time.

I like my shiny Android phone and I think I am the only one in the house who stacks the dishwasher properly...
