As per Subject, this is my first smart phone, and I am engaged in trying to discover if I myself as smart as it is; the outlook is bleak. More than it should be because the documentation seems to be written for a reader who already knows the score and needs only a bit of memory nudging to recall the drill. As OT as this is, I hope I can ask here for answers to a few questions.
The instrument is HTC Aria. The two questions that are bugging me at the moment are: 1) The on-screen keyboard for writing messages defeats me, because the "keys" are absurdly narrow, certainly more so than my fingers, and there is absolutely no chance that I would ever be able to peck out even a short coherent message with them. This suggests that there must be a way to type with a stylus, rather then directly with fingers. I have tried to use objects made of various materials, but so far nothing works. How do people type on these things? 2) I succeeded in telphoning to a friend this evening, to his land-line phone. For a while, the sound I got was quite good and distinct, but after a bit, it began to fade in and out, so that cconversation became intermittent and impossible. There is a cell-phone tower less than a kilometer away from my home. Is this the level of service that I have to look forward too? The fading suggests that the communication may be affected by passing vehiles; is this possiblle over such a short distance? -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
