You should get a Windows Phone. There are no apps for it, so nothing ever 
changes.

Yeah, when we get major updates to desktop software there is traditionally 
plenty of warning as you read about it magazines and get preview releases.  
Phones through don't seem to have the same culture, stuff just arrives, and 
there are so many apps from so many vendors that I suppose there's no simple 
way of maintaining awareness of everything that's changing. I certainly have no 
time or interest to read up on the ecosystem around my phone, after all, it's 
just a fancy tool and I expect it to work, consistently!

I was unfortunately wedged by the urgency of showing someone my pictures and 
taking photos and suddenly discovering the dramatic UI changes and didn't have 
time to sit down calmly, take a stress pill and think things over.

And yes, I too am confounded with anger by the growing number of weird 
gestures, verbose notifications and hidden commands on phones.
