A viable solution for you:
Save a picture of a person you hate to the phone.
Put it on the phone for your wallpaper, or main page.
Set the phone on the table.
Punch said person in the face until the face goes away.

Problem solved.

That's a decently legitimate question, actually. What you've got to do is touch the screen. That's what makes it do things.

Depending on what phone you ended up with, the actual functions could either be incredibly easy or ridiculously hard. What phone you got?

Changing jobs . . . . .. . crap.

Easy? Maybe not so much for you!
You asked for info he already supplied in this line of his reply here:

What will you be doing now?

I remember when it was .50$. Good that makes me wanna puke.

I think we can all thank the dodge we drive for the price of fuel being like it is,truthfully it was the first dependable powerfull diesel out that got decent mileage. I think people realized they were a viable option and bought more of them then ford and Chevy caught on. Now every skirt needs to drive on and has absolutely no business with one. I'm not talking about the horse riding country girl,the I gotta go to the grocery store and pick up my kids from school kind. Riding around in a bigA truck burning up diesel for no reason other than I wanna drive a truck. Also the punk kids in them don't help either,Harley Davidson edition 3/4 tons with a 100k on the clock without one scratch in the bed and not the first sign of a hitch on it. Only reason for them to have one is to over compensate for a small appendage,I leave it there for y'alls imagination to figure out. It burns my a$$ seeing that,of course I might just be a gigantic a-hole too,whatever

Preach on! I'm not a fan of the modern diesel culture at all. I have a diesel because I got into it cheap, I see over 20 mpg on the highway, it has the torque that I love, and I need a 3/4 ton truck for alot of the stuff I haul. A gas truck that I could afford and could handle the loads I haul sure wouldn't get 20 mpg on the highway.

Just for the record, my coworker at the farm has a 2500HD with the 8.1L and 5 speed Allison and he gets 9 mpg when hooked to the gooseneck. My Dodge racked up just shy of 11 mpg. Towing with the 727 FTW That's why I put up with my Dodge

I didn't know Milestone was a phone. Since he lumped it into the same sentence as autocorrect I figured it was another feature of some sort. I blame Ellis' terrible grammar and sentence structure.

If you don't have any experience with newfangled stuff an iPhone is your best bet. You can pluck 3GS's off CL for ~$75-150 all day. It's probably a bit late now, but they were pretty much made simple so idiots like us wouldn't get too confused by them.

My DROID RAZR is much more user friendly then any of the IPhones with a much bigger screen for typing.

The milestone x2 is/was suppose to be the same as a Droid x2. It's a tough phone,I've been hard on it and really its taken several beatings in its otterbox. I like to think I'm fairly savvy with my phone,its all I've ever been on here with. It's just my blackberry was easier to use but was out of time,it could never do what these new ones will. Really I like this one,but that auto correct trash is really starting to bug me

Ellis, just turn it off, has to be a way to do that in the menu somewhere.
If anything, read the owner's manual.

This "Diesel Culture" you speak of, the children driving diesel trucks, along with the what I'll refer to as the "New Yuppie" culture, (soccer momma' and daytrader daddy), aren't so much the problem as those damned "Classic Vehicle Collectors".
All through automotive history they have, for a time ignored truly good ideas, until they became "hip", then they come in and inflate prices and ruin the hobby, so that those of us who would LIKE a nice, clean example of something can't get one bought for anything near sane prices.
Hell, I can't even buy a thrashed to hell parts truck because people think 2wd D-250s are worth 3k because "they run", even though they might not MOVE.

As far as mileage, I've been averaging ~18mpg, got 16.5mpg towing a van on a trailer a while back and just pulled 20MPG while hauling home two 6.7s, 2 NV4500s and some assorted parts, weighing @ 10k, day before yesterday.
All in my $1800 (slightly overloaded) 1996 3/4 ton with an AUTOMATIC.

I'll "live" with running a 2nd gen, the comfort and extra power is worth the slight loss in mileage and they don't look that bad.
