got my wife a Samsung R225 and not only did she never learn to text message, she can't even figure out how to access the sms messages that tell her she has voicemail or to dial into her voicemail to listen to them!

on the other hand, our 12 year old borrows the phone and messages his friend via AIM.

i made 100% my girlfriend knew how to use the phone i got her. i gave her a nokia 6200 for her birthday that she likes a lot. she likes to look classy and its an elegant phone. at the same time, she is rather clumsy and needs it to be durable. but she can now send SMS, browse GPRS, and we even send each other contact over IR, i'm so proud!

Dad is getting there.... purchased an i-mode phone last month and now knows how to email himself pictures and such.... starting to get around wapping... he'll be alright

My mother on the other hand still clings to het very first phone, an old Philips brick

The battery died last year and she'd hunted down another one of them batteries (a discontinued model

) because there is no way she'd part with that phone... because..... 'I know how to use this one and I'll never get the hang of another phone anyway'

Then again... all she ever does is texting and calling... so she doesn't need another phone anyway

nice!!!!

glad to know that the 'older' generation can handle mobile devices pretty well......presented my dad with a nokia 8210 early last year....had to somewat force it on him....i'm paying for the line just so he has no excuse not to take it......he's finally getting the hang of it specially so with the sms feature......but he still prefers to use the pc for surfing etc so i'm in no real hurry to get him a wap enabled/colour phone......he did mention that poly tones does sound nicer on the

models compared to the nokia ones that his mates haf......he's been tinkering with my old t68i and t610 at every opportunity......i think he's ready for

which will be wat i'm plannin to upgrade him to come his next b-day.......

mom on the other hand refuses to haf a handphone
