HI all i have just bought the samsung vibrant and i wanted to get beautiful widgets and maybe some other apps so how does google checkout work? just input your credit card and all your apps you bought should be in their "shopping cart" or something? Is there a set date i have to pay for the apps i bought or is it checkout whenever?

and not sure if anyone has the same problem as me but when im using the stock text messaging app on the vibrant.. all the incoming texts have the wrong time. The times are all 4 hours behind. If someone texted me at 5:35pm instead of it saying that it would say 1:35pm but my outgoing texts all show the correct time. and to top it off the stock messaging app does not display my convos in descending order. instead it would be mixed and matched. just a big mess. only fix for this is using handcent sms. any suggestions?

Each application is different when it comes to payment. The most general options are to charge your T-mobile bill, paypal, or credit card. Either way, Android Market saves the applications you payed for and you will always get a conformation email in case the application gets deleted, so you dont have to pay for it again. Most applications have a 24 hour refund policy, in case you are unhappy with the application. Once you select a payment method and fill out the info, the download happens right away automatically.

Sorry, cant help with the text issue. That is wierd. I would start by calling customer service.
