So, I'm completely new ... to my omnia and here ... anyone have any advice as to where to go, how to start learning all of this lingo? I did manage to download Pandora to my phone today, and I am eternally grateful to whoever figured that out!
Anyway, any advice is appreciated. I'd love to change my Today screen, it seems so busy. What do I have to do to change it?

Welcome to the community, there are a LOT of resources here for whatever you decide you want to do. We have the possibilities of flashing to new ROMs now that will unlock the GPS, give you loads of more memory to work with, and even different types of Today screens to use. My first suggestion would be to read through some threads first, especially the My Today screen thread, the upgrade threads, and whatever else catches your eye. After that, formulate in your mind what you want your Omnia to look/act like and then we can help you out better.

Where did you get Pandora and does your keyboard work with it? Mine has disappeared.

I found that this happens often. Very often.

A workaround is to assign a hardware key to the keyboard using Settings/Buttons. IE set camera hold to the keyboard; when it is needed (in any app) just hold the camera button and the keyboard will appear.

I cannot remember who posted the original workaround. If I do I'll edit this post to give him credit.
