The (GPS) cases look good. I had thought to use my portable harddisk case, since the Amazon case (one choice) was very expensive. Yours would be a better choice. Is the TPU covering still needed if I keep it in a case? I am in Europe now and have to wait till early January to get most of the accessories and to actually use it. 
Is "Flip fonts" an app. that I should download? I can't find it in Google - do you have a link please? I guess it is a new font installer app? I'll look on XDA for the font you recommend since I want to read on it as well. --edit: Found archive of flipfonts on XDA, with instructions! Guess I just install the NokiaPure.apk and then set it as the font.
This is my first Android device, so am very excited to play - but I don't dare try to root it! I'll just cover the lighted buttons with a sticky or something.
Do you use a stylus with it? I was wondering if it would help given the small screen size? Other than a 32GB memory card, stylus, case and maybe cover I'm just going to buy the "marshmallow" earbuds that you recommended - what other accessories are you looking at?
I was wondering about (read: drooling after) the KFHD, but will definitely try reading on the the SGP5 before sinking any money into another device. I am very happy reading with my current kindles (6" and 9.7"DXG) in general, but I don't carry them around. Even the 6" is too large for me to be comfortable.
Wish I could take advantage of the 32GB microSD disk sales.
Thanks again! |
Flip Fonts is installed be default on the SGPs You just need the apks from Google Play or XDA has alot of free fonts you can choose from. The SGP5 comes with ear buds that have pause/play button on them. They are nice rubber kind that fit in the ear. I still love my JVC Marshmallows because they block outside sound out and I can sleep in them.
I don't need a stylus, my fingers work fine. Oh you will need to install a Keyboard unless you like Swype because you can't turn the keys sounds off on the default one and that gets annoying. I use Swiftkey 3 which auto corrects so good I seldom have to type a word which means I can type really fast on it.
You will need a TPU skin for it. Trust me on this. It's too slippery to hold otherwise. Amazon has a few but eBay have much nicer choices. the TPU SKin has little grips on it making it really nice to hold and protects nice. The GPS case I use needs the TPU Skin to fit. You can get nicer cases for $30-$40 but I don't see me paying that much for a case!
