From the Dark Ages to How do I use this thing

Ok, in the last few days we got smart phones. We found a good deal and nabbed some Samsung Galaxy S III phones. Prior to this our cell phones were just that, phones. We didn't even have texting. We used our phones for calling and that's all, well and taking pictures. So we finally up graded and when we get home and unpack the phones other than the quick set-up guide there is no user guide in the box. Now here is a device with multiple applications, widgets, and uses and nothing to tell me how to begin using it? Although these phones may be user friendly they are giving me more credit than deserved on figuring this thing out. So after some time on fumbling through Bluetooth to transfer all my contacts and pictures then trying to figure out how set my ringtone, home background, locked background and time out settings I finally started somewhat getting comfortable with it. So I thought till it rang and it took me almost missing the call to try and answer it. Now after a day or so I find it fairly easy to use and it is indeed a pretty cool phone. I'm still trying to figure a few thing out but for the most part I got it down.

Do you have a smart phone? If so, did it come with a user guide? How long did it take you to use it like a pro?

Comic Movies I have to see

Here's a list of the comic movies coming up in 2013 that I want to see.

May 3rd Iron Man 3
   I can't wait to see this one. I've been waiting for the Mandrin to be in the Iron Man movies and from the trailer it looks like some good action and effects.

June 14th Man of Steel
   I'm interested in seeing how they do with the new Superman. I haven't seen a trailer for this one yet but I do want to see the new costume in action and it'll be interesting to see what villan they use. Hopefully it will be better than the last Superman movie they did.

July 26th The Wolverine
   Hugh Jackman reprised his role as The Wolverine and this storyline takes place in Japan. From the trailer it looks like some good action and effects as well as some suspense. I'm looking forward to it. Skint

November 8th Thor: The Dark World
   I haven't seen a trailer for this one yet but it should be good. I was suprised at how well I liked Thor and it ended up being my wife's favorite movie of the Avenger characters. I'm looking forward to some good action and effects from this one as well along with some good cheezy one liners.

Well that's my list of movies to hit at the theater I do have some others I want to see but they can wait for the Dollar Theater or DVD.

What movies are you looking forward to?
