Using My Electronics To The Max

I've had a Samsung Instinct for about 8 months now, and I must say that I love it!  I know that I wasn't using it to it's full potential though.  Mostly I would check my email on it, and surf the web when Carter was in the hospital.  Well, the other day I decided that I would "deck" out my phone by finally downloading some apps.  I have an Itouch as well, but never really messed around on it.  Here's what I found. 

First, if you absolutely hate the web browser on your phone, you should see if it is compatible with Opera Mini .  My old web browser wouldn't access most websites, but Opera handles them just fine.  It's pretty awesome when my husband in playing XBOX and I don't want to mess up his internet connection by using my laptop.

Second, I found out about the most awesome application ever.  I love listening to music, and used to have Sirius but cancelled.  I downloaded Pandora radio to both my phone and my IPod and I LOVE it!  All you have to do is type in an artist or song that you want to listen to, and Pandora will create a custom radio station with similar types of music.  My only complaint has been that at certain times of the day I've found that it's a little choppy.  I've only had this problem maybe three times and I've been using it for almost two weeks now.  The other negative is that there are ads displayed on the album art as the music is playing, but seriously I'm listening to the music and looking at the screen.

Finally, who knew that the Itouch had so many FUN and FREE downloadable games?!  I'm seriously addicted to it now.

OK, so maybe EVERYONE knew that there were a lot of cool apps, but I'm still new to this lol!

Let me know if you find any more useful or fun apps by leaving a comment :)
