Bama, give it time, and try the advice my daughter gave me. The first smart phone they came out with was an iPhone. Dh ran and got us one. On day 3, I was standing on the balcony of our apartment, ready to throw it into the lake. I was ready to cry. I couldn't figure out how to use the thing. I could answer a call, if someone called me, and that was it. Later that evening, I was almost in tears. I wanted to make a call, and couldn't figure out how to do it. My daughter showed me how, BUT she told me something that made a world of difference. She told me to go on my computer, and google anything I wanted to do on my phone, and there would be videos. Just do as they said, and I would soon learn how to use my phone. She told me that's how she learned to use her iPhone. Who knew, right? Another thing I did, after I was a little more familiar with my phone, was to google the settings, and set my preferences into my phone. That made a big difference too.
It's taken me 2 years to convince her to go back to a landline, that kind of phone she's had years of experience with. And a landline is a lot harder to lose than the 5 or so smartphones she's lost.
I would love a new phone!
