Try writing email on cell phone, Hugh. I would have thrown my cell<br>
phone against wall, if it wasn't so expensive.<br>
<br>
1. You are using web interface, ie. <a href="http://yahoo.ca" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">yahoo.ca</a> or <a href="http://gmail.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">gmail.com</a>. So, you<br>
can <Backspace> to left, but you can't <Delete> to right.<br>
<br>
2. You are pecking at 2.5in wide keyboard with your finger/thumb<br>
which are bigger than a key.<br>
<br>
3. After pressing a wrong key, you are trying to place the cursor at<br>
the right spot, with your fingers that cover 2 lines vertically and 4<br>
chars horizontally. Oops, you placed it wrong spot. Now, try to<br>
move the cursor.<br>
<br>
4. You typed it right, but phone's autocorrection changes it to<br>
something else. Again, go back to correct that typo.<br>
<br>
5. My phone's screen is 5.7" Full HD (1920x1080). So, I have the<br>
same resolution as desktop monitor, but practically impossible to<br>
navigate properly. Clicking a link is challenge. You spend all<br>
your time zooming in, click a button, zoom out to see the page<br>
properly, then swipe to center, zoom in to read text, zoom out to<br>
see what's on the next page, etc...<br>
