An iPhone didn't work?!
"iPhone"? I had an Obama-phone! Made by Motorola. Mechanically, it was superb, and I liked the slide-out keyboard -- well, the screen slid out, revealing the keyboard ; but the touchscreen was flaky... One never knew what -if anything- would be launched at a touch. Luckily, it was stolen from me a few years back, from my car's console. (The driver's side window was stuck down for a few years; I only just recently got it fixed...) I wished whoever took it the best of luck! And as much frustration as I'd had.
This new one is a SKY Elite B5 android device. (Opera's beta mini runs well on it.) I assume you think all Americans are rich? (I remember when I first got to the Opera Forums I shocked someone by saying I used a dial-up ISP...) Oh, I should mention the NUBWO® A9 Bluetooth speaker which set me back about USD 20... It works great; Thailand does have industry, it seems.
I'm currently in the process of recovering my favorite software... Sort of fun, ya know? Like seeing the OS tell me that jEdit won't install... (Just needed the jre installed first!) Ha! But Panic's old Audion mp3 (and stream) player was gone for good... Oh, well. (Swinsian works fairly well.) I've become a fan of Opera 71; and the new GX is interesting.
(But I still have Opera 11 installed!)
You'd have to call me old-fashioned: I still have, and use, a peripheral floppy disk drive!
