Hi Everyone,
My name is Ed and I live in New England (CT to be exact). Just upgraded my old crappy flip phone to a Razr...man this damn smart phone thing is confusing...I'll catch on, but it's gonna take a while. I did my business at Radio Shack who had the best deal to offer...my Razr for $249 and my wife's Samsung Stratosphere for free. Only thing I did so far was to add the Zagg screen protector...that thing is amazing. So back to playing around and trying to figure this fancy phone thing out.

Thanks,
Ed.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your upgrade from the flip. Lots to learn and I am sure you will have plenty of questions. Feel free to ask when you do.

So I guess the first question I have (unless I should do this in the proper thread) is...what is with all these "Permissions" that apps and downloaded games need before you can install? Every game or app I looked at requests these ridiculious permissions. Is it safe or do they mess with your account / contacts etc?

Thanks,
Ed.

Most things are safe but your right to be concerned, when a game needs permissions to view your contacts it draws concerns but some games need permissions to stop from being interrupted by a phone call - just be cautious and feel free to ask anything specific here on DF that you are not sure about :)
