Been taking my Dinc on walks/jogs, but don't have any type of case yet. I've just been holding onto it. Seems like a case attached to my pants would jerk around too much, might be a little less movement on the arm...I don't have ear buds yet either, been crankin the Slacker/Pandora...headed to Amazon to price some buds shortly.
I put my phone in my pocket and it pulled up the internet somehow...would also like a way to make sure nothing unwanted pops up.
Any suggestions for a case? Or tips for use while walking/jogging?
Thanks

Sorry, this might not help you much but I'll say it anyway. Get an iPod for that, it also comes with headphones. An 8GB Nano costs around $125 and leave that beautiful phone at home. You'll sweat it all up, fock up the battery or the screen and feel like crap. That's assuming you have some money to spend. If you don't, then I'm sure someone else will give you a hand here.

I always bring my phone anywhere I go, in case of emergency. I plan to fire up a selection of music then not touch the phone again until I'm done/home.
Looking at earphones with volume control...anyone use KOSS? On the cheaper side at 30 bucks, but seem ok.
Yes, I have Koss and they work great. Jog around the store make sure they stay in.

I've been looking for days for a good set of stereo bluetooth head phones for cycling. I looked at the samsung headphones that you have and reviews were awful. It looks like the break where the neck band joins the earpiece. I hope yours are doing okay.

If you look at just about every stereo BT headset, they all have this problem. It actually happened to me with the first couple sets I got (different types). What I did when I got this set was I took some electrical tape and just reinforced about 2" on each side. I've been using them since last fall without a problem.

I've used SP for the past couple days and today it shut down about 1/2 mile before I was finished. Not sure what happened, was carrying the phone in my hand. I also know the max speed is wrong because I was walking with two friends with jogging here and there..and the max speed is marked where we were walking. It's also marked as infinity mph...hehe. I like uploading to the site but I might try CT tomorrow.
