I've seen this with my own grandmother and I don't get it. Its a way of thinking, not an issue with the phone. They *think* it should be complicated to use so they try to make it complicated. My dad has a rugby, and its a pain in the ass to use. You have to scroll through crap, menus are clunky, takes forever to type a name into a contact, etc. With an iPhone, or most smartphones now, you look for what you want to do, touch it, and do it. EASY, as long as you don't freak out about it!
