We had to get one , as we were told that there were NO PHONES in the Lifestyle Visit homes......nor was there one in the home we rented for the extra month..........my husband who hunts and pecks on a keyboard, was able to manage to text and enter some data, but I found it frustrating.

The I-Phone did come in handy for a navigational device and for taking pictures and "sending them" off to family and friends immediately, plus a zillion other uses..........but as far as TYPING, forget about it.

I don't know how the younger folk "text" with two hands......once I was trying to contact the Hyatt Regency at the Orlando Airport as we decided to leave one day early to return the rental car and check in to our hotel rather than a mad dash to the airport...........and I was trying to contact the "desk" etc..........very frustrating.....as I had to type in all our information.........but I guess , like anything else, it would come to me eventually.

Couldn't agree with you any more insofar as the tiny I-Pads, etc are concerned. The two hand approach (especially by the youngsters) to these tiny devices certainly defies the old asdfg space ;lkjh that we learned many years ago. I'm sure you could navigate the keyboard (as well as myself) even if there were no identifying letters and numbers on them.
