Please tell me it's worth the cost to get a smartphone!

Has anyone tried a NexusOne? I'm intrigued....

Okay, decision made and order has been placed. I should get the new phone around June 1 or so. I think it will be fun and useful.

In the meantime, I printed out the user manual and am reading it to familiarize myself with the phone's features. It's 206 pages long!! 206!!! And you don't even get to "how to make a phone call" until page 39!!!

Thanks everyone for your input!

Good grief! Are there any tutorial videos you can watch?

It's a fast read, plenty of white space. Actually pretty well written for a tech user manual.

I printed it double sided, two pages per side to save on paper.

Update -- the phone arrived last night and I activated it today! I still am figuring out how to do everything. But I know how to make a call, answer a call, and send a text message. And surf the web. And look up addresses in google maps. And take photos and upload them to facebook. So I'm already well on my way.

Do you have the same #?

Do you have the same #?

Yes.

I need to get a good ringtone. The ones that come with the phone are boring. My old phone had a train ringtone that was awesome -- I miss it already.

I might download a ringtone from the Formula 1 website -- so I'll hear engines revving whenever anyone calls me.
