Nova - I have found that the manuals that come with the newer gadgets are too hard to follow ... I recommend the Dummies books. They are easy to follow ... I have a bottom of the line cell phone that I take with me in case I have an emergency and have to call Roadside Assistance or something. That's about all I use it for -- and good thing. Don't really know how to take pictures or anything.
