I second the question about transferring data from older phone to Android.

I need to transfer contacts and messages from my gfs older feature phone (samsung U800) to a Galaxy S?

Google for custom programs to do the same... for messages check if you can get a program which converts the messages to XML which Android will accept...

Anyone know of an app I can use to wireless-ly sync my outlook calendar to my phone?

The big problem is exporting the contacts from your old phone. You'll need to check what options you got to export them. Usually, you can sync the contacts to MS Outlook using some PC Suite software. If you can do this, then you can export the contacts from Outlook as a .VCF or a .CSV file and import it into your Gmail contacts. Transferring through Bluetooth could be done too.

This is just one method. If you can find out what exporting options your phone gives you, I can let you know about transferring them. Same goes for SMS, though I think it'll be harder.

Press the Menu button, which is to the left of the Home button and you'll see 'Wallpaper' in the menu. Select it and browse to change the wallpaper.

For editing just touch and hold on any empty space on your homescreen, and you'll see the widgets appear at the bottom.

The Facebook app should be available in the Android Market. Search there. Open the Market app from the apps list.

Which was your old phone?

You're a dead set legend Sheik. I ended up just copying all my contacts from my E71 :lol: it was hell. Anyway I've seen some different screens and different widget setups but I'm not quite sure how to change that.

Its an amazing phone. Takes some getting used to. You're not getting me Sheik, I wanna change to a customized setting that would allow me to flick through and see the widgets differently. I don't know the specific computer language.

:lol: Same dude, I still haven't gotten used to mine. Getting the hang of it though, when I'm bored I just try clicking different things and whatnot and end up finding new options and shit.

For the Facebook app, I got the first thing that came up in the Market.

Props for running shit, Sheik :tup: :D

Alright Sheik. I'm back and I've done my research. I've learnt your lingo and so now we can communicate in order to improve my new awesome phone.

What I was trying to ask you for before are different launchers. Do you know any really good ones? or any good apps, back grounds or widgets for that matter :D :heart:

Some of the famous custom launchers are LauncherPro and ADW Launcher. I believe both are free, so give em a try. I would dedicate a week for each with intensive feature testing.
