Samsung Gravity

So far I am liking my new phone.  It's much better than the LG Rumor I had.  The Rumor liked to spontaneously turn itself on and off as if possessed by the Evil Cell Phone Demon.  The Gravity stays on.  It's nice.

Usually, I get a new phone and it takes me two years to figure out how to work it.  Then the cell place tells me I should upgrade.  I get a new phone even though I haven't totally figured out the last phone.  I read the books, it doesn't stick.

As usual, I read the instruction book that came with my phone (stop laughing Chris).  I doubt I will remember all of the features and how to use them.  I can make calls.  I can text message.  I even found the speakerphone this week. 

The book even has other useful information.  I'd like to share it with you all now so we all use our phones safely.

CARING FOR YOUR PHONE

1. Phones aren't cheap, so keep yours in a safe place - away from children who may find it fun to see if the phne sinks or floats, and away from dogs who find plastic-coated products to be irresistible chew toys.
2. Water will damage your phone and accessories - even a small amount such as water droplets from your soda in your car cup holder, melting snowflakes, tears of joy, squirt-gun crossfire or steam from the kitchen or bathroom.
3. Use only batteries and accessories from the original manufacturer of your phone.  Non-approved accessories can cause damage to you or your phone.  Hint : If it's being sold out of someone's car trunk, walk away.
4. If your charger or other accessory is damaged, replace it, or take it to a qualified service dealer.  Do not attempt to operate your phone charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, thrown from a speeding motorcycle or is otherwise damaged; doing so may damage your phone.

There's another important tip for the safe use of your phone while driving.

Keep your phone closed.  If it rings and you discover it's in the backseat, do NOT crawl over the seat to answer it while driving.

Now that I have shared those tips with you, I feel confident we can all go on using our cell phones in the safest manner possible!
