I can't believe ANYONE likes this phone!

So the other day I started using this phone and I gotta say it totally sucks...

When I go to call someone, I pick the thing up and get half way through a number and I forget what number I was on and there is no way to tell! I have to hang up and start again. It takes FOREVER to dial also! My friend's number is 819-998-9898 and let me tell you I can shave my face AND my legs before the thing is done making the call. I also have no way to know if my friend isn't home or if he is ignoring me. Some times it just rings and rings and rings.

A lot of you will say that this is user error but come ON, how could a phone company not expect their users to want to use the phone like this??? I am getting one of those buttonomatic phones AS SOON as they come out. I hear they have the dialing problems solved completely!

This is a joke right?

you know that these phones have a cool feture where you can store your friends (such as a phone number) in your "contact list? What is really cool is you can touch that persons name and it will auto dial for you. Then you dont have to use that chunk of protein upstairs to remember the last number you dialed!

Technology these days.......

No I was being totally serious. Just like this reply. I am not being sarcastic at all. Not one bit.

I found the handset that goes with your phone, but I can't find the darn cord or the rotary dial thingy....

That's one of the dumbest things I've ever seen.

Gotta love ThinkGeek.
