New "Smartphone"

[Bigdawg]

Not sure what that means... but I gots me one

Samsung Epic 4g... on Sprint network... droid operating system? I think...

so what the heck do I do with it??? How do I learn about it (besides asking the grandkids) and most of all - what and how do you get "apps"?

I feel like such an old lady at this point...

Dive right in and explore. I have the Droid and it was quite complicated at the start.

I have a "dumb" phone. I use it to phone people. Sometimes people phone me.

I've had the Iphone for a year and a half now. It comes with no instructions. Completely intuitive, even a caveman can use it. Simplicity at its finest. My three year old godson picked it up and started using it without any help. They're all great phones, yours is a good one too. You will wonder how you ever lived without one once you get the hang of it.

Mine is like Signmeup's, except it also takes kinda fuzzy pictures.

Thats what i have. My cell is about 6-7 years old. Works fine but no internet and i am finding myself wanting that feature more and more on my phone. All my friends have the IPhone4 and i personaly like to go against the grain. So i will be buying an HTC Desire at the end of the month. Looking forward to it!

Apps you can get at "market" it is kind of complicated at first... I would recommend downloading and installing applauncher pro, it simplifies it a little bit and is easier to navigate.

My phone was chosen because I can read the 3/8'' tall numbers on the display.
It is great to get older.

I prefer it to not getting older.

 

[signmeup]

I forgot.... mine takes stunning .3 megapixel images too.

Got the new HTC EVO Droid a week ago, it's like comming out of the dark ages... This thing will do anything I ask of it.......

Hmm...
Can I watch a Yankee game while driving home?...

Can you speak into an app and have it converted to a text message?
If so I might get one to keep more in touch with (bother) the kids.

I prefer small flip phones but they suck to text with.

 

[CheapVehicleWrap]

Yeah, but I can text while riding my motorcycle.

what and how do you get "apps"?

Perhaps this one will do....

I've been looking for a Rotary Dial cell phone

"There's an app for that."

 

[CheapVehicleWrap]

LOL, I shoulda known. Wonder if there's on for my Storm? But I'm due for an upgrade next month.

 

[Bigdawg]

All I can say is Holy Crap!!!! What I didn't mention was my learned helplessness* when it comes to phones... but dang... this is just too cool! And I logged onto signs from it - and could actually read it!! Ask anyone in my family and they'll tell you - the least thing I do with a phone is actually answer it

And yes Mike - you can catch a game... and talk to text...
