Introduction of new user

[wbemmons]

After proudly sticking with a "pure and simple" cel phone for the last 15 years, last month I was unable to replace the battery on my trusty, albeit limited, warhorse. And I had read good things about the Droid, had been impressed by their ads during bowl games . . . so, I made the switch, and am now, at 59, feeling like all the stupid old men who I used to laugh at because they didn't "get" computers.

I'm enjoying the Droid, learning how to answer it, sometimes even before the answering machine kicks in . . . Haven't been able to get my primary email delivered to the Droid, but I'm making progress, I think.

Very frustrated by the complete lack of a manual, and the weak version available from the official site. And surprised there isn't yet a "droid for dummies."

Enough for now - if anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate any help you can offer in this stumbling leap into the 20th century . . . .

This is actually my second post, but I just wanted to say that simply by reading through this forum I have learned a great deal about the phone, how it works, and the great apps that are available for it. I didn't even bother reading anything Verizon gave me, preferring instead to read through here where the experienced users had already figured things out. It's not as hard as you think, just takes a bit of time sitting and playing with it. I've had it about a week now and I can't quit playing with it, that's how much I like it. This is one cool phone!!

You will find the more you use it, play with it, you will also get better at using it. There is a slight learning curve, but nothing like phones I have had in the past.

Using the search feature above, will also answer many of your questions.
