The second great feature is the Social Networking that ties together all service: Face book, Twitter, My space all into one screen where I can instantly stay up to date with business, family, and friends. An added feature is social networking friends are added to your contact list automatically. Hopefully, this will result in new business.
The smart phone essentials such as email and text messaging appear as shortcuts on one of 5 customizable home touch screens which makes navigation a breeze and feels like a iPhone. You end up saying to yourself, wow, that is cool.
One of the touch home screens is automatically set up to pull in RSS news feeds which keeps me up to date on the latest economic and business news. This is great for causal reading and to follow developing stories. If you want more information, the feed links out to the published article. This is another nice feature.
The latest thing that is useful is the built in GPS that I have car mounted with Blue tooth technology. This included Google maps, latest traffic conditions, voice navigation which comes in pretty handy during the daily compute.
The down side is battery life. If you are going to be away from your charger for a full day, (amusement park, beach) you will have to manage your battery life. Since smart phones run applications automatically, you have to manually turn off application that are not needed. This conserves battery and takes a little bit of practice on how to do.
One word of cautions is, when installing free application from Android market place, read user reviews, to ensure you are getting good software. I can say this is the most complete smart phone I have had up to date.
