Nokia? phones of the future

[Anonymous]

By way of explanation I came relatively late to having a mobile phone = my choice

A Nokia phone is what I've always had & got used to. I like my newish Nokia phone as recommended by my good mate MI5, after explaining what I need from a phone. I don't have or wish to have a landline phone only for my internet connection

I'm concerned that I'll have to become bamboozled by new IT & learn to use a touch screen phone etc

Am I panicking way too soon

Is it to soon to say what will happen

Hi @Anonymous


New technology can be daunting but remember your in control not the technology.

Take your time and work through it in stages ,with small steps.

We are here to help and guide you and also their is a dedicated forum for fellow Nokia users.

Touchscreen phones suite some and not others who prefer qwerty keyboards.

Nokia Discussions.

Hi @Anonymous  (I feel you and I are meeting a lot over this weekend )

However many topics you have raised have been relevant to me in some way...

Firstly, I know how old you are and I am nearly 10 years your senior. I certainly know the 'struggle'

we have to keep up with technology. Two years ago I was plodding along happily with a Motorola

phone (similar to your Nokia) ...My sons pushed me kicking and screaming, into the world of

smartphones!

I now have a Samsung S3, which I love but am in no way proficient in using. With  the help of many on

here (particularly MI5) I get by and wouldn't now go back to the old phones..

However, that's me, and you may want to stay with your Nokia. If thats what you want to do, no-one

should convince you otherwise.

(All I am saying is...if I can do it...then so can you)

Thank you very much Cleoriff for the empathy & encouragement 

I really miss my son 29 = he was soooooooooooooo patient with me as regards new IT stuff, but as said elsewhere on the forum he is busy & I don't want to pester him or make myself a nuisance = I just make myself a nuisance on the forum here  

I am genuinely trying really really hard with all this

It was MI5 who recommended my new Nokia phone, after I had answered his question of 'Tell us what you want to use the phone for & we can then help you'

I'm really not into fancy stuff = it would do my head in & I don't have the cash to pay for it all

I listen to very very little music except at the local Working Mens Club where I like to play about on their juke box

I like my movies on dvd off Amazon for various reasons

I will probably drop my SKY off in Autumntime - I really don't watch it much = I may get a new flat screen telly then = yes I have a little portable COLOUR  tv with dvd slot at the front ..... as i say I don't have that much spare cash to play about with = its not a problem  BUT I may only then have 5 channels which would be a bit of a bummer

BTW BandofBrothers I've ordered cheap off Amazon that film 'the Bucket' you recommended & another cheap Jack Nicholson one usually bought with it  

Goodnight & God Bless

Hi WispaRed7,

I'm sure you'll enjoy the film as I did.

A patient person is valuable when teaching of technology is needed.

Please don't think that your making a nuisance of yourself here. We are here to help and support all members in all subjects. I enjoy engaging in all subjects.

Take care.
