Flushed Take-over

Ok, so we returned from Vegas and finally caught up on our sleep. Now I've got to get back in the swing of things...not that the swing around here is normal by must people's definition. I wasn't home 12 hours before I dropped my phone in the toilet. Yes, I had just flushed...thank god. I think I might have left it in there if it were not a "fresh bowl". So $500 later, I have this thing they cal a smart phone. It is so damn smart that it can take over small counties if need be, but I'm just trying to figure out how to get it to sync with my email. The other thing I would love to figure out how to do is make a call easily. I have figured out how to call someone, but I have to go into a program and push a couple buttons- well it's touch screen, so I touch a couple buttons and then it dials for me. Now if I get a text message while I'm on the phone, it beeps me and then opens a dialog window...but I can't figure out how to open the dialog window without making it reply first. So I end up having to go out of the reply and go back into the text to read it so I can then reply. The salesman told me not to get frustrated with it, and I'm not....I actually think it's pretty damn cool. I just need to read the instructions again. Of course I'm not good at that either, so maybe I'll just play with it until I get it...

...and hopefully I won't set off any missiles or destroy a third world country in the meantime.
