Keep that GPS, Sync and WiFi off till use… there are so many apps to quick kill them. Youll see results immediately. ---

As for the copy/paste/clicking links comments - has anyone tried LongPress on there? I was watching a video online showing how easy it is to use and what it does differently based on what you’re doing. See a pic online you want for a contact? Press and hold, it brings up a menu so you can copy the pic or set it as a contact picture. [http://www.android.com/videos/#video=copyandpaste](http://www.android.com/videos/#video=copyandpaste) Not the video I was thinking of, but it shows what I’m trying to explain 🙂 ---

as i’ve already stated many times, however I will repeat once again, the motorola droid is too bulky for my tastes, personally. also, I didn’t qualify for a phone upgrade, so I was able to get this phone at a discount but the motorola would be more. don’t want to pay $300 for a phone I don’t want when I can pay $200 for a phone I do (iphone). ---
