Hi Damien, Relax. There is no need to hate yourself, or beat yourself up because you can't do something. We all have our personal limitations. I have them, you have them, Charles has them. Its a part of life.
For instance, I know of guys on here who talk about beating games like Street Fighter IV and make it sound easy. I've never beaten it, and perhaps I won't. However, I see no need to beat myself up over it. Someone on here is obviously better at fighting games than I am, and they probably put more time and effort into getting that good at it. I don't have the time or patients to stick with a mainstream game to get very good at it. The same could be said for devices like the iPhone. For whatever reason you are incapable of grasping the mechanics of using the device so move on. If necessary you might have to hang on to your old Symbian phone, and hope when time comes to replace it there will be a reasonable alternative for you. The rest of us who can use iPhones successfully will happily use them because the level of access is reasonable for us. I don't see complaining about the situation will do much good for you in the long run because its not a general accessibility issue, but some personal limitation you have that we don't have. Cheers!
