I NEED Bifocals for this thing. I don't know, I may return it and go back to the Droids??

You can make the Font larger just by putting two fingers together on the screen and then sliding them away from each other. I had mine for several months before I figured that out!

I do know about the two fingers and making things bigger, Droids have that too.. However you can not make the screen bigger when texting or writing...

I'm going to give it till Monday and if I still don't like it. I will switch. The graphics from an iPhone to a Droid are night and day, Droid blows the doors off the iPhone.

The battery life on this thing blows. Yesterday I added 5 apps and sent out 9 text messages (no phone calls) and my battery was dying already. I had nothing running in the background other than to search for apps for about 45 minutes. So far I haven't had it for more than 24 hours and I've recharged it 3 times. Maybe I received a bad battery??

It must be your battery because I use my phone a lot and only have to charge it every two days.

Not putting your iphone in sleep mode when you aren't using it will wear the battery down pretty fast. It will eventually put itself in sleep mode and you can change how long it takes to do so in your settings. You'll still get notifications and other reminders pushed and they will pop-up as received;however, you won't be able to see them afterward or any time what's on your screen until you hit the round button with the square on it at the bottom. To put your phone in sleep mode, click on the button on the top right of the phone.

You also might want to check your brightness settings

In pink, I thought that turned it off.

That's if you hold it down. If you just press it quickly (it will make a sound if you have sounds turned on) without holding it down it will put it in sleep mode.
