    Well the world is changin. After i've heard all I need my phone to do is make and receive calls seems like Chucktx has a Smart Phone now. :cussing:

    It sounds a lot better than his old phone. It will make and receive calls too.
    Now Chucktx has a new Toy to play with.:gah:
    Wonder what all it will do besides make and receive calls......

    He will probaly have it traded in by this weekend on another phone.....:roflmao:

    I really agree with you.
    However I do think the carriers needs to come down on the prices oh,
    Gave my wife a Iphone 3GS, My old phone. she fought me on it.
    Now she can't live without it. She has incorporated her whole life into the phone.
    Got her 2 email addresses setup in it.
    She gits emails from Head hunters trying to give her jobs all the time.
    It has something to offer her that she finds about every other week.
    I sold a motorcycle and jet ski off my Iphone. Had folks ask to send them some pictures, Had the picture on my Iphone.
    it takes some pretty nice pictures to send too.

    But I would bet Old Chucktx has a lot to figure out on his new phone since its his 1st.
    It will keep him occupied for a while.

    It does take some time to figure out all of the things it will do. Scares me to think about replacing in 2 years to learn a new one all over again.

    The Iphones are about 5 times easier to learn than the droids to me.

    So ya know when it wears him out he has to go take a NAP>>>>>>>:D

    Cowboy, I have a Iphone and got the contractors water proof/shook proof cover for it. I told them I take it with me on the bike to and they suggested this cover for it. I carry it in crawl spaces with me and one time it fell off from a roof to the ground below. I held my breath as it fell all the way but when I picked it up it was fine. All of the AT&T stores should carry them.
    I really like the Iphone and sometimes they have specials going.
    The Iphone was how I posted messages on here when we went to the coast last weekend.

    If you have the radio with jack on your bike, get a cable from
    radio shack to connect the Droid to the radio and select AUX
    on the Bike Radio

    Then you can download Pandora which is a free internet
    radio application and make up your own stations.

    So if you like Country such as Roy Clark style, put in Roy Clark
    and it will play his tunes and others like him....

    Full digital and no expense to you...

    If your going to do that you better get a DC charger to keep the phone charged up. :)
