New smartphone
9 years ago
A few weeks back I finally got a smartphone to replace my old clamshell dumbphone. There are a lot of pros and cons with upgrading like this, I've found. Here are some of them:
Pro: Welcome to 2010.
Con: Dammit, I was still getting a handle on 2005.
Pro: Customizable wallpapers! Ringtones! Icons! Everything!
Con: The free ones suck, and to good ones cost. Ugh.
Pro: A touch-sensitive screen makes selecting things so much easier than a d-pad.
Con: I've already butt-dialed 911 once and taken innumerable pictures of the inside of my pocket (fyi, it's dark).
Pro: I can play games at work now! Real games!
Con: I have discovered the "fun" of games designed for microtransactions.
No doubt more is waiting to be discovered, on both sides of this little equasion. In general I love the capabilities, but it does take some getting used to.

Sounds like you need to make the lock screen a bit more secure.

OP
I do use a lock screen. But it allows quick access to 911 and the camera, without actually unlocking it. I can see the reasoning behind allowing these, but...

I went from a Nokia brick to a smartphone.
