What's the first thing to do?

[Tweldon]

I just got the A1200!

Cool new phone/toy - getting a full charge right now!

So, what advice would an experienced hand give - what is the first thing I should do?

Check / upgrade firmware?

Install PC tools?

Etc.....

I have NO CLUE! I probably will just start using it, but would like somem guidance to start!

Cheers, Tweldon

P.S. I've been reading alreading quite a bit, and it's pretty overwhealming!

P.P.S. - Have already got the Bluetooth function to sync with my Prius though!

first things I did

1. Set up GPRS profiles so I could browse
2. Download opera mini (faster than the opera browser that comes with it, though its java so only one window can be used)
3. Memory card/BlueTooth stereo headset (nextlink spyder) to put some music on it
4. Phone tools
5. ZMPlayer for movies (not using for audio as it doesn't support bluetooth yet)
6. google.com/glm
7. search for jar files to install apps/games

only had it for a week! Loving it so far. Good luck

I just got mine on Tuesday, so I'm by no means an expert.

I played around with it, didn't like the chinese lettering default crap, so I upgraded the firmware to .06p. Put some wallpapers on it, got rid of the vm text message via seem edit, and then just played with the features.

Just installed Opera Mini as turbo4door mentioned, I'm wondering if there's a way to make it search google mobile beta from the homepage?

Was it easy to upgrade the firmware?

I haven't installed the CD software that came with it onto my Computer, but I was going to try to search for a step by step on how to do the upgrade today. I've had it less than 24 hours.

Also like to know if I can defaut to the "Phone number screen" when I open the phone, as I mostly will be using it as a phone?
