Other operations which are straightforward in most mainstream 'phones have to be hunted-down via cavernous sub-menus etc etc etc. What's the point of technology if it makes your life more difficult?! Needless to say, I wouldn't recommend this 'phone unless you are in some way looking to punish yourself for past indiscretions.
