I just got an Android phone, AT&T Samsung Captivate SGH-i897. What are the essentials for this phone? Here’s what I’ve got so far to change the phone from PITA to awesome Google Voice – ($free) to avoid the ancient “You have 2 new messages. To listen to your messages, press 1” and replace it with […]
