My old Samsung Galaxy Note One, given to me by my friend,
failed to start recently, so my nephew gave me
his Sony Xperia Z2.
Apart from no option to save new apps and files
to the large USB storage, causing the System Storage
to be used up very fast, the Samsung's operating
system and menu was very user friendly, well designed
and very comprehensive.
Moreover, the fonts are big, bold and very easy to
read for aging eyes.
That on the Sony is extremely unfriendly and badly
designed, with countless important functions and
options missing.
Not to mention faint, thin fonts and a very glaring background.
When I transferred my SIM to the Sony, it couldn't
detect the contacts on it at first.
After several attempts, the contacts seemed to
have surfaced.
However, when I tried creating and saving a new friend's
phone number, I was shocked when I couldn't find any
option to store it in the SIM card.
There are only two options - either save to -
1. Your Google mail account, or
2. The phone's storage.
Where is that for the SIM card , like the Samsung and
virtually all other phones from old Nokias and Sagems
which I have used for the past two decades ?
You mean they never thought of creating a simple function
for storing individual contacts in the SIM ?
Editing current contacts, the same thing - you are stuck
with either Google or the phone's storage.
Searching high and low on the net, yes, there is all talk
about importing the whole load of contacts from your SIM
to your phone, or either vice versa.
But unbelievably, you are have no choice if you try to store
just one or two phone numbers in the SIM card.
Sony must have very incompetent programmers in their offices.
