I had a Iphone 3, it ran out of space to update the IOS.
While I’m not much for the new tech toys. Except a higher end sewing machine. If I had the room I’d have a Quilting machine.
Not a scratch on the face plate, I keep my phones in soft padded pouches. Battery was getting old and not holding charge well to boot.
Hubby had to suck off all my music and photos to install the new IOS.
I did not like the new system, it made me download Itunes Store, and would not let me edit my photos or add photos except on camera roll. Well grands and great grands are growing and I want the latest photos to show off that get posted to FB. It became obsolete and useless.
Love the Samsung Note 3 I bought, still learning all the features, but that Micro Memory card is great, I have a 8 gig one now, can be expanded to 64 gig if need be. The stylus is great feature too. I use it on easy mode, as most of the apps are not things I use daily. And I’ll have my step daughter delete any that she can that does not effect the operational system. Only thing I don’t like is that when you enter things on your calendar you can not put in a days warning. And the Contact list has no place for addresses.
Should be a way you can customize what you want on such an expensive product. But it should last at least 5 or more years at the pace I use it. I have the same complaint about cable TV, 200+ channels and we watch 30, or should I say we tape maybe 1 show like Duck Dynasty off that 1 channel. Cars, sports, Pickers, Pawn Stars, History, Racing, and some Food Net work, Voice and AGT are taped for later watching. Country’s Family Reunion, Larry’s Country Dinner, and Pop goes the Country. RFDTV.
I don’t do crime shows. Or smut.
You could try a 3rd party contact manager. Some of them act as dialers and sms clients as well. I don't bother because my contacts are so few.
