for some reason it didnt sync completely, i can see some contacts numbers on my gmail but they dont exist on my droid... still looking into this
until i get the SD card i cant DL a new exchange app for email.. so ill have to wait
couple things ive found so far..
(btw, im one of the guys who really liked his WM6.5.3 phone)
cant figure out how to open attachments from email, but i think i read that one of the email apps might help
You'll need an SD card and a file explorer, there are three that come to mind; Linda File Explorer, AndExplorer, Astro.
i checked the app store, but didnt see an app that turns the droid in a mobile wifi hotspot, does one exist?
You'll have to root and flash a new ROM for this, the two best (Ive tried four so far) are; Bugless Beast 7.5 and SholesMod 2.0? whatever it is now. After you flash the ROM you'll need Wireless Tether.APK. PM me for links to these ROMS with instructions.
also i cant seem to copy text from emails, could that also be solved with an app?
In emails, if you hold down the shift key, you can drag your finger over text to instantly copy it.
other than that, im enjoying the faster smoother software and cap screen, not to mention all the extra pixels..
thanx again for all the help

Also, you mentioned a reception issue, have you dialed *228 option 2 and followed the prompts? If not, give that a try.
