- I suspect I'll be at the AT&T store on Tuesday buying my first smart phone.
I'm pretty much decided on the bold 9700.
So after reading about applications and browsers over the last few days and looking on the app store, what do people like?
I read somewhere that Opera is the browser of choice
Also - standard calendar application, or does someone have any suggestions for the busy grad student?
And, hmmm, replace the OS right away?
Thanks!04-19-10 07:56 PMLike 0 - SBSH Calendar Pro works well for me, I'm also a grad student and work full time; it keeps me organized.
I don't know much about os but I'm sure someone on the forums will help you.

- -Opera is faster, but the native wins in some parts.
-OS is completely to you, you can if you want, I upgraded as soon as I got the phone, no problems here.
-I use Bejoose and Memory Booster to optimize my memory and recover it
-BeamExplorer is a free, GOOD file manager with the ability to zip/unzip
Don't use much apps besides those.04-19-10 08:07 PMLike 0 - I've had the 9700 for about a month now and being relatively new I'd say upgrade the OS asap, but try the native apps (calender, browser, etc.) First before switching. Personally I tried opera and hated it, I now use native and will sometimes use bolt for browsing, but the native calender is good.
Ultimately, to each his own, ya gotta try it out and you will definitely find what fits you perfecly

i got the latest os
weather app
zen theme w transitions and weather button
google maps, lattitude and google talk
my sync client
browser i kind of like the new browser and i swear the new firmware is faster for downloading but it maybe just placebo.
using stock calendar/email/contacts etc
I tried opera and bolt... i kind of prefer the stock i think it seems to be pretty fast.04-19-10 10:28 PMLike 0 - ok, the first 24 hours have been interesting.
I didn't have a desktop PIM and I won't use outlook for anything (I use Eudora, don't laugh, it runs just fine on XP) so I'm trying to make do with the halfway useable sync applications with google calendar.
No task syncing, yet... working on that but so far cannot get GMtaskSync to run at all.
Anyway, I like it so far. The phone part works well and I'm enjoying my ability to twitter/text with my friends...04-21-10 03:15 PMLike 0
