Droid Newbie....

For now. The key for me is to get up to speed as quickly as possible on the use of this device.

I see that there are various terms that are apparently unique to this device, or class of devices, that I am not familiar with. Further, the basic concepts associated with the use of this device are different from what I am used to on a Blackberry.

If anyone can link me to a concise tutorial/instructional vid I would be most appreciative.

the main thing is to forget everything you know about black berry.
You can search youtube but, I have found the Droid very easy to learn.
and we are all here for you !!! just ask ... :w00t:

Thanks guys!

Now my first question. I've pulled up an important legal research website on my browser. However, I am unable to pan around on the page. All I have acces to is about the 1/4 upper left potion of the page. What am I doing wrong?

I have not ran into that before. Could you post a link ?

www.solo.westlaw.com

That isn't where I have a problem though. Its once I sign in.

When the software brings up the search page I can't move around on it.

It must be something with the site. If its your place of employment maybe the IT guys can help. :016:upset

Some sites just are not that mobile friendly.

No, its a legal research site I pay a significant monthly subscription fee to use. I will call their tech sup. Monday morning.

Is there a way to zoom in or zoom out on the web pages you go to?

If you are using the "default" browser (the one that came installed on the phone), double tapping quickly on the scree will zoom in and out. Web pages are usually made to "fit" the screen.

By using Dolphin Browser (found in the Market), one can zoom through pinching as found on the iPhone. You might be more comfortable with this.

Just a suggestion.
