Left handed only, when I used to be right handed?

Just old fashioned, I guess, Mecki. My phone has 12 buttons: 1-0, * and
#, and the necessary Send, End, Menu and cursor arrows. That's enough
buttons for me. I know what you mean about the eyes not being what they
used to be. I've been looking for an easier to read keyboard, maybe with
black letters on white or yellow keys. I've tried lighted keys and they
never worked very well. The painted (or inked) letters rub off so fast,
and I've never mastered touch typing. Having only one hand to type with
doesn't help, either. And speaking of being old fashioned, do you know
it's almost impossible to get a keyboard with the big, L shaped Enter
key and the \ on the top row next to the Backspace key?
Getting older by the second,
Charlie

Come on Charlie, texting is cool and it is easy.
If I want to talk to my son in France for instance, I send him a text
to switch on his PC so we can use Skype to actually talk and vice versa.
The workshop sending me a text that my bike is ready to be collected -
now how cool is that?
You're an American and you guys had letters on your phone keys for ages.
OK if you would have to remember that B is hitting 2 twice and S is
hitting 7 four times I could see your point, but it's really not that
difficult when the letters are actually displayed on the keys and you
soon get the hang of it.
I bought a phone with especially big keys so I can see the letters
because my eyes are not what they used to be. ;-)
And no, it's not one of those so called smart phones - it cost me just
15£ including bluetooth and camera - and no contract.

I'm with you, Bill. My phone makes and receives calls - period. I
think you might be able to text on it (remember having to press 3
numbers to get 1 letter?) - but I don't use it. The best part - it
costs me $99/year! And no, I don't talk on it while driving.
