Smart Cell Phones for Oldies

I can't figure out, how to hit the key I am aiming for.......is there a pencil sized unit that will activate the click? Also have a Blackberry for sale....unlocked.....2000 pesos...Like new.

These units from my prospective, have not been designed for FOP's. (For Old People).....my computer keyboard isn't large enough!

Yes, you can actually buy a rubber tipped pen that is for this purpose. I use one with my HP Tablet. Any computer store will sell them and some cell stores may also sell them.

Thanks Bob, Feel like a dumb s--t...went to cell store they had no clue...Welcome to Mexico.....Blackberry still for sale......the older I get...the smaller it gets....LMAO...the keypad

Jim which model is it?

Jim,

They do sell a large button cell phone in the US for oldies. I have a small Nokia and don't have problems - finger nails help.

Simpsca, I don't have a clue about model number, it is unlocked.....paid 199.00 US, don't even know how to update software.

Do you have the manual? It should have the model number on it - or the box.

What you want is a stylus for a smart phone. If you carry your phone near a magnetic key or a RFD card the phone and "key board" can get whacky.
If you can't find the stylus locally,try: www.cellphoneshop.com.

Using those touchscreen boards is a lot like learning the guitar.

I don't think our cell phones are smart but I swear they blow raspberries at us on a regular basis. "Unlock"...whaddya mean? I didn't "lock" you why do I have to "unlock" you. Damn thing annoys the hell out of me. If I ever need it in an emergency, I'm up the creek because I may not have time to "unlock" and dial a number. We should be the ones controlling the machines not the other way around. Google says "did you mean?"...Microsoft Word keeps putting in numbers or bullets or double spacing or a change in font size. DAMN IT...I highlighted the section I wanted bolded or larger...why could you possibly think I wanted to continue with it? Now Internet Explorer wants to know where you want to go back to when you hit the back button.

AAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!

Ferret, different kind of "unlocked". Not that you lock your phone so you don't accidentally dial a number. I think Jim means that you can use it in any country, any provider - to confuse you more, different kind of "unlocked".

Thanks Simpsca but I knew that. I was just commenting on how aggravating technology can be sometimes. I can hardly wait for the really big phones where I can kick the numbers...and release some of my frustration.

I can still punch the numbers - just have trouble seeing them at that size.
