Here is the LONG link you can cut and paste to get to the product support on the motorola site. Click on User guide in upper right hand corner and Viola! PDF of 114pg user guide

In case anyone is interested, if you look on the last page of the Getting Started pamphlet that came in the box with your Droid, you'll see Motorola's number to call if you want a printed Users Guide sent to you. Mine is on it's way.

That's right, read the little pamphlet first. The pdf I found and use is from the verizon site. It's the same as Andor posted. I don't want the extra junk around so I'm glad not to have the hard-copy.

1937Kb, 56 pdf pages, 54 document page numbers, last 10 pages legal, very last page blank.

Still, it's insane that the phone doesn't have a "Help" icon right on the homepage that pops up a tutorial, the bookmark list of this pdf, and other help options, including a hot button to call Verizon support. There are some computers that have forced you to go through a tutorial the first time you boot-up, so at least having "an app for that" right on the desktop would seem kinda basic.


Having to d/l a pdf, and view it by scrolling and magnifying and sliding around every page to read it on the device that it's needed on is really pretty lame. The manual pages should be the same aspect ratio as the droid display when displayed at a readable size. Of course tha would convert the present document into 100 pages of user guide and 30 pages of legal (I luv zees cuntree!!) It's like the government and criminals though, between Google, Verizon, and Motorola they're all wanting the other one(s) to do the work and pay the price for a good help app, which really is specific to the Verizon Motorola Droid 855p.

I think that 4 website / forum groups I've found are mushrooming with new users and page hits is because of this. The Verizon tech support tell me #1 I already know more than them, #2 I need to "play with it more". I think the big 3 need to "WORK with it more" and make a good, native help app.

I'm a phone idiot, I went out and bought the droid with the keyboard. I cannot find out how to install new contacts, I.e. new phone numbers, emails, etc.

Thanks,

Ronnie

great site guys, thanks for the help!

No Bill, they don't come with one. I got mine yesterday and thought the same thing. My verizon guy did the same thing. All the websites I have been to so far don't work or you have to pay for it. I feel we paid enough for the phone and a user manual should be included somewhere in the price.
