Samsung Acclaim

How do I change the voicemail shortcut button on the phone to auto dial voicemail and the password? I've tried going to menu>setting>call settings but there are no voicemail settings there?

I'm afraid I haven't figured that one out. On my Sprint Palm Pre, it is done through the voice mail menus, not really a feature of the phone itself.

I bought my wife an Acclaim, and it is a pretty decent little phone. Definitely more difficult to use than my Palm Pre, but can do a few things better than my Pre, too. Both of the OS's have their own strong points. Huge strong point for the Acclaim was US Cellular, which is the best carrier in our part of rural Wisconsin!

I just installed the Missed Call app. Definitely worth trying out, as it restores the "buzz and chirp" functionality that phones used to have before they got smart. Now if I could just figure out how to do that on my Palm Pre! (which at the moment I am using as a mobile hot spot while camping in our RV, which is pretty darn cool, too!)

Other must-have apps: Pandora, The Weather Channel, Amazon MP3, Flight Track, Fandango, Barcode Scanner.

I hope to see more about this phone here. It is a pretty decent phone, but like any smart phone, does have some quirks in getting best use out of it, and I hope to see good tips here, and hopefully contribute some.
