Hi Tinah! Welcome!
I think you'll like your Pocket eDGe, even though you may have to hunt around for apps a little bit more than those of us who can register for Amazon (are you sure you can't?). I found it a little bit hard to learn because I was new to Android, too. But if you stick with it (we'll help, here and at
http://www.entourageedge.com/forums/forum.php), I think you'll agree it really
is a neat gizmo!
You should receive Dingo (1.6) and will be able to upgrade, if you choose, to Ermine (2.2). I have no idea where your seller got 2.1 -- maybe a typo??
Good luck, have fun, let us know how it goes!
