Wow thanks for the quick reply, I also love how this community just keeps on growing and everyone helps out each other. Yeah I think I figured out the sms virtual keyboard. i know this sounds stupid but I am trying to use the virtual keyboard more so that I don't wear out the hardware slider yeah I know I am a lil paranoid. I was horrified at that post with the usb connectors coming out, being very gentle with this one hehe.

I am happy that I had no issues with the device so far and microphone works well

What I am really looking forward to is a program like joikuspot for sharing internet via wifi with others when needed.

Will keep practicing with the screen, I put on an invisible shield so at least I won't be too worried using my nails....
