I upgraded my lovely Samsung S2 - which has seen me well through many a situations and travels in two years - to a Samsung S4. As soon a I picked up the S4 I knew I wanted to upgrade to that one. I am a fan of Samsung in general anyway and would choose them over Apple on most occasions. When I choose the phone, the assistant asked if I wanted their service to transfer all my data etc onto my new phone. I decided I couldn't justify paying someone to do that and opted to try it myself. So out I walked with my shiny new phone.
Cut to 3am the next morning and there I was completely and utterly baffled. I had backed up my old phone (I know - something I had neglected to do) and began trying to transfer. I realised I did not have the right cables. So the next day I headed back to my parents and luckily found the right cable.

So off I set again - feeling suitably frustrated and confused again. I set up the phones, set everything to go and it began to 'transfer'.Victory to me, I happily spent my time blogging away. But guess what? It didn't work again. At this point I started to feel like an old lady. This must be how older people feel when they got confused with new technology.
How could I not do this? I am competent with technology and know how things work. But the phone - it just was not working. I then had messages to update drivers. Argghh!! I wanted to cry under the table...and drink... and feel even more useless.

This was the point I gave up, and that is not my usual style. I went back to the store and asked them to help me out. I felt so clueless, and I couldn't believe I hadn't been able to do it. The guy in the store was great. I left my phone for a few hours and voila! It was all set, data transferred and good to go! Finally I could play with my pretty new phone.... now to work all the apps.
