Well, text messaging is not the easiest thing to manage on my Nokia. I
don't do it often, but when I do, it takes a good long while to get
anything "typed."

Changing settings is not as simple as I'd like (you've got to dig down to
find out where the setting is in the first place and it's not always in the
most obvious place -- least not obvious to me).

The crappy wallpaper background on all but the main screen for some reason
cannot be changed. The only advice I got from Nokia was to reset the phone.
Yuk. Yuk. Very funny.

But since I don't use the damn thing much at all, I haven't figured out all
its defects. I'm sure I'll get to know them in time.
