Hi Brad! Thanks for the warm welcome!
Yeah i know several people who went to UT also! -- And I also know where Brenham is too. Been there a couple times! Not very far from College Station and the famous home of BlueBell! (IMO absolutely the best ice cream in the whole entire WORLD! -LoL!)
Actually I'm no longer in Austin technically speaking. I was for several years but then moved a little further outside the city limits into the Lake Travis area. I figured folks just recognize Austin better.
Good to know the droid x2 is an ok phone. I guess I need to read up on how to root it and also about "roms"? - Is that like a sim-card? I know there's a sd memory card (8GB i think) in it already. I was told that I can't use my other sim card from my old phone but i don't know whether i would want to do that anyway. Does the memory card replace the need for a sim card. I'm still a little confused. Where on the forum do you find out about these things? I just need some help getting started in the right place.
Thanks again! X
