Brokedown and bought a "Smartphone", any websites for newbies to learn what they're doing? Always used simple "Pay-as-you-go" phones before.

Samsung Galaxy S iii, blind pick as I know nothing other than it's supposed to be the latest phone out there.

Well, I didn't find a website that teaches owners about their phones but I have watched and read some good reviews of your phone. Sounds like you got yourself a good one!

After reading the manual, you may just want to go to YouTube and enter "samsung galaxy s iii" and start watching videos about your phone. You may learn more from the videos than from the user manual.

Sounds like a neat phone. I hope you enjoy it!
