However, while I have no problems with Mac OSX the few occasions where I need to use it, iOS is just very frustrating to me. I am sure I can handle it if I keep trying, but it's easier to sell the thing for $ and use that to pay bills. At some point, when there is a need, I will probably pick up a Sony Xperia. That looks quite nice.
