Old iphoner, Need all the HELP i can get!!!

Just got the HTC inspire and I think I may need to take a class! Had the iPhone since it came out and was ready for something new. Sooooo happy I bought the inspire but I am beyond confused. So many things are opposite the iPhone, example, just answering my phone was an issue bc the accept button is on the other side of the screen. I always hit the period instead of the space bar, don't know what a widget is, don't know if rooting is legal, I'm thinking its the same as jail breaking which I did a few.times and lost all sound to my phone and it did not return even after in jail breaking. I'm not stupid (even tho I may sound it) I just need guidance, help, hints tricks, anything that will make me enjoy this phone even more! I could probably work at Apple bc I seriously knew so much.about the iPhone. I want to be like that w the inspire too! The Manuel that came w the phone sucks, and most of the stuff I read is already above my level! I need inspire 101! I'm begging for help! Thank you on advance to anyone who can take the time and email advice! Can not wait to learn!!

 

Thank you everyone for the welcome. I hope.you don't regret it, haha, I might turn into an annoying stalker throughout this process. I really do want to learn as much as I can. First question, is there anyway I can change my keyboard, like pronto! It's so opposite from the iPhone I am always messing up? Any suggestions? I thibk I want bigger keys and a different layout. The space key and period key are the worst bc I am constantly putting periods in stead of spaces. To go back and forth between the keyboard screen and numbers and symbols screen, is on the opposite side also, so instead of switching views i close my keyboard! Very frustrating. I learned the difference between widgets and apps tho, thanks to the forums yous suggested! Woohoo go me! I actually feel like I'm an old person trying to.figure this out, like me 65 year old dad who just got the iPhone when he was used to using smoke signals..ha

 

Do I have the swipe, or am I able to download it? My BC has the HTC Ego with Sprint and he has it. But when I bought this phone the other day the AT&T guy told me its not on my phone. He said my phone was a sister phone to the Evo, but the swipe i know I can do bc I figured it out and showed my BC how to use it on his phone.

 

Love the theards!!!!

 

Another question for the pros! Thisb is erking my last nerve. When I first got the phone all my face book friends were in my phonebook. No biggie. Now all I want to do is sync some if my friends that didn't sync themselves. For example, my friends name is Nicole howlt. She does not have her number in facebook so she is not synced in my phone. I have her under Nikki in my phonebook. I synced some people but others it wont let me. This phone is about to get thrown at a wall. I read every post and hint I could find on the subject, and it only works, occasionally. Please help

 

I tried that and it only seems to catch here and there. Either I'm missing a step or I'm a big moron! I'm leaning toward the second choice! All I want to do is stop seeing those blank pictures, but I want to connect it correctly. Maybe my facebook needs to be opened right before I try to link everything, its always opened but when I checked facebook settings it refreshes every half hour.

 

I did that alsobbut it seems to have a mind of its own. I have to be missing something, I doubt it is the phone. I'm going to go to the store tomorrow and ask for help. This is taking up way to much time. I read forums all day in work, and then play with it when I get home. I'm not giving up though bc I see so many things I like that weren't on my iphone. One last thought, maybe I should realize that I'm to old (26) and technology has finally caught up with me! I knew this day would come eventually! Just want to add also that I'musing my swipe keyboard! T&asks so much everyone

 

This is stupid but it works! If you go into edit contact and just type the word facebook under website, save, then try to sync it works! I then go back in and delete the word facebook under website! A lot of work, but it's getting the job done for me. Now I want to understand why, but thats for another time!

 

Haha.....actually I am blonde and Polish, not off the boat Polish but IM still half Polish!
I have no idea but I did it my way so I'm just letting it go. My brain hurts!

 

I fell in love with thee swipe keyboard I found yesterday. I made the age comment bc recently in work w updated many things. Freshman year of collage I learned Microsoft word 2002, now in work I'mv trying to teach myself on the updated windows. Some things are the same but some things are totally different. I was gonna take a class just to get brought up to speed but ended up doing it myself. I refer to my dad bc I remember our first mobile phone being a big black bag phone we would use to travel. I don't know how he manages to keep up when he never even had a computer class in school. My mom learned how to type on a type writer......they must have patience1
