   I never understood why they call the modern cellphones "SMARTphones".   
   They are NOT smart at all. My biggest complaint is when I am in a low   
   signal area. I dial a number from my contact list, and get a message   
   telling me to re-enter the number. WHY??? For one thing, I dont know the   
   number. It's in my contact list.... It was already entered, so why the   
   hell dont the (so called SMARTphone) recall the number? I believe this   
   happens when the phone is on ROAM mode..... This is a huge annoyance and   
   there is no excuse for it. The number was entered, and the so called   
   "Smart" phone should provide it to the connection.   
      
   This same thing happened when I had a simple flipphone. There is nothing   
   SMART about these newer phones. I switched to a smartphone much because   
   of this problem, but it was never fixed. These newer phones just have a   
   lot of worthless clutter and junk on them, which makes them complicated   
   and hard to use, compared to my old flipphone. Not to mention they are   
   too big to fit in my pocket.... Since this "redial the number" annoyance   
   was not fixed, I am considering going back to my old flipphone. I just   
   make phone calls and sometimes send a text. I dont need all the crap on   
   the smartphone. The only improvement I have seen, is that the smartphone   
   takes better pictures with the built in camera. But I have a real camera   
   which takes MUCH better pictures than any phone, so I dont need the   
   camera feature.
