You can never go back. Make sure the google widget is on your home screen and start from there. It took about 30 - 45 days for me to go from I love my Motorola flip phone to I can't live without my android. My phone has 7 pages for apps, after a couple of years the apps I actually can't live without fill up less than 2 pages. I think my first app was Weatherbug. I use the camera every day. Square register is a godsend. iHeartRadio is a must if you're a talk radio junkie (may be good for music too but I can't really say). Get Shazam just to wow yourself.

Have you figured out how to make a phone call with that so-called phone?

Okay. Apps. Also called applications. They're all specialized. You need a calculator app 'cause you probably can't recall your division tables. Capish? It's already on your 'droid.

I'd also suggest the Tapatalk app. It's free and once you have downloaded you can log onto a forum called Teardrops and Tiny Travel Trailers. You'll learn all sorts of neat ways to build trailers and chat with a great crowd.

My favorite app is probably WeatherBug. Another freebie. You can check the weather forecast wherever you're at. If the forecast says 80% chance of rain, you can click the hourly forecast and find out that the rain isn't supposed to start until 3pm (or whenever). I find that feature real handy some days. You can also click on the radar and know if that big cumulas cloud is going to roll over your campsite.

I really like the Google Earth app with my phones GPS feature. It's free. Zoom in and see if your teardrop is visible at your house. Anywho..... lots of apps. Probably a dutch oven cooking app....

Dark skies is helpful as well. I assume it's on droid, but I know it's on iPhone. It gives an extremely accurate forecast for the next hour...like "rain starting on 10 minutes, lasting for 15 minutes".

I am going to keep my senior citizens model as long as I can. I grew up running these kinda apps!

My advice is youtube your phone maker and model and watch the videos to see what and how it works and the functions.
I had a dummy phone for years but finaly went to a smart phone.
I was using it like a dummy phone and not very well at that either.
Then a friend said youtube it to see what that pen was for.
What a pen ?
Oh my my samsung galaxy 3 is AWSOME .
one word "youtube."
