Taste of my own medicine

I went ahead and upgraded my cell phone from Blackberry to a Motorola Atrix. This decision has caused annoyances, pain, uncomfort, surprise after surprise. I was out of my comfort zone using this new phone and can't find things I would normally have located without even looking on my Blackberry (while driving). I lost my patience and sometimes it effected my whole day. I would wonder why I paid for this technology when it causes me all this grief. When I had questions the people at the cell phone store could not always give me exactly what I wanted (what I wanted is not always doable). Like real estate, the technology was sometimes ahead of the sales/service people at the cell store slowing down my needs.
Fast forward several weeks and I love my phone.
The learning curve was worth it and eventually I will do more with the new phone than my previous phone was ever capable of. The new phone now simplifies my day to day activities. I have even made friends at the cell phone store and when I walk in I get great service. I knew before embarking on the cell phone change that upgrading my phone was going to be a rough ride. I like my routine so I had to build up some patience and fake smiles.
I think this same experience could be a summary for house sellers and buyers.
