Congratulations on your new Droid smartphone! You’re going to be amazed when you discover all the ways it enables you to connect with your contacts and stay in touch with the world. You can communicate via talk, text, email, social networking, and chatting with instant messaging, and on some newer Droid phones, you may even be able to chat with live video through Google Talk. You can use the built-in cameras to take and share pictures and video, and the microphone to record audio; you can stream media to your phone from your home network (and back again). Even with all this, you’re just scratching the surface!
The reason your Droid phone is special is two-fold. First, it runs a mobile operating system and offers built-in tools for browsing for and accessing data you store on it. In the past, you downloaded a third-party app for this, and managing data was more difficult. Second, it’s high-tech: It’s open to developers, and updates are also made available regularly. When you keep your phone updated, you keep your phone in tip-top shape too.
Beyond the technology though, you also have access to the Market, which enables you to easily browse, download, and install apps that do just about everything. And depending on your model, you can use your Droid phone to connect with others using various hardware. Your phone may have a HDMI out port, front and/or rear facing digital/video cameras, and a large enough screen with the display capabilities it needs to offer an impressive video-watching experience. To sum it up, it’s cool.
You can enjoy your Droid phone for a long time, at least in tech-years. It offers you room to grow, and the more you learn about how to use the features it offers, the more you can begin to depend on it for tasks you never thought possible. Just wait until you send your first email by saying what you want in the body instead of typing it there! And the first time you experience playing a movie or some music on your Droid and streaming it to a compliant device on your home network, well, both you and your friends will be blown away!
