The complexity of modern mobile phones is leaving users frustrated and angry, research suggests.
Some 61% of those interviewed in the UK and US said setting up a new handset is as challenging as moving bank accounts.
Compiled by mobile firm Mformation, the survey found 85% of users reporting they were frustrated by the difficulty of getting a new phone up and working.
Of the 4,000 people questioned, 95% said they would try more new services if phones were easier to set up.
Nah. The beatings will continue so long as they refuse to RTFM...
I can see difficulty learning how to use a Motorola product; but
Thats the beauty of Apple products, and the iPhone.
For the most part, totally intuitive.
12 million buyers can't be wrong.
As a drinks coaster should be!
Hey! That's funny!

Do you have any idea how many Americans bought Chevrolet Vegas or Plymouth Omnis?
Sorry your car purchases turned out bad. I get 51 mpg with my P{rius.
Well, these are the same people who elected and/or nominated Gordon Brown, Tony Blair, John McCain and Barack Obama. OF COURSE they're morons.
Yeah, to zoom in on a website, you use the "totally intuitive" flick-a- booger motion rather than, say, touch-and-hold.
Zero bought Plymouth Omnis. A few bought Plymouth Horizons and Dodge Omnis.

Bless me, Father, for I have sinned...........
Hmmm, at this point, I'd mention Sprint has 40 million customers, and you seem to think that THEY'RE all wrong...

A Vega ?! Have any idea where I can get one ?
I've had 3 of them.
Or eat at The Waffle House?
When I was a kid I saw one with a label on the door handle about it being the millionth vega. Even at a young age I was appalled they'd made so many of those pieces of crap.
They fit the universal rule: Good, fast, cheap... pick two. No good but cheap and quick to make.

Chevy built the Vega to prove you couldn't rub extremely hard piston rings against aluminum without wearing out the aluminum. They proved it but then had Roosamaster build the diesel conversion 350 engine for my '80 Pontiac Bonneville Diesel to prove the same thing would happen to a diesel injection pump if you got cheap with that, too.
both were PoS vehicles....
I never had a Vega. I had a GIRLFRIEND with a vega...which is much worse!
The best quote I ever heard about the Vega is that it was constructed from compressed rust.
Awww. The Cosworth Vega was a bit of a pip.
It's just that most of them struggled to figure out their phones.
I did. My 71 Vega (I was second owner in 74) was a great car. Never a problem.
