How the hell does one cut and paste links and photos with a damn droid phone?

"tap & hold" on link, menu pops up... select copy.

tap hold in text area for menu, select paste.

Especially on YouTube....I don't end up seeing a link to the video....I hate this phone. All I get is a fucking menu asking if I want to share the link through SMS, email, of some other. Thing like MMS...am I just doing something wrong?

same principle as a PC, but you can't double "tap" the way you double click. instead, it's "tap & hold".

RWF, do a search online for a .pdf version of the manual for your phone.
they pretty much only come with quick start instructions, i think, but the full version (mine is 206 pages!) tells you everything.

I know. turns out all the gadgets and gizmos and links and all that crap are not at all difficult to figure out.
It's the PHONE part that's pissing me off. I keep accidentally dialing people.
I refuse to touch anything in my contact list now.

My Droid keeps deleting my emails, even the saved ones. Doesn't happen all the time, just intermittently. I've called Verizon about it and they said it's a glitch with the program and should have an update out soon to fix the problem. Sure is a pain in the ass in the meantime though!

Anyone else having this problem?

I heard about this but it hasn't happened to me - I don't use the phone for email and until they come up with a way where all my different emails can be viewed in one log in, I'm not going to. I'm literally in email hell. Over the years I have created one to use just for this, one for just that.... now I have at least 6... but I think there's at least one I'm forgetting... LOL... Then phone made me create YET ANOTHER email address because Verizon is in bed with Google, so it forced me to make a gmail addy in order to get into the App Market.

bummer, i thought all smart phones had universal inboxes. a work-around for you is to have your new gmail acct suck in all the email from your other accts, then you'd only have to log in to that one acct.

maybe it does. I haven't gone that far into checking it out.
This can be blamed on the App Market, Sodoku and Jewellust (thanks a lot T-Bone! )
Oh.. and the 80s Song Lyric Trivia game.

What app is the "80s song lyric trivia game".. or is that the name? I have a couple of games on my phone but the only one I play all the time is
Bejeweled.

My only big complaint so far is the battery life. My old phone used to go 2 days without a charge but this one barely makes it through the day.
Maybe I just need to get to work instead of playing on my phone but .. you know how that is.

What are your thoughts on it? Any problems besides what you listed above?
