So here are my next set of questions....

1)when I save something on the clipboard, is there any way to view that clipboard?

2)How does one upgrade the operating system when a new one comes out?

3) Every time i get a missed call, i get a notification in the messages of a "missed call" that I now have to delete, but i already know i have a missed call from the little icon in the top of the screen. Is there any way to not have the message show up???

Welcome to the forums...

1) No, you can't view it, only paste it somewhere.
2) Best thing to do is to read these (among others) stickys. There is lots of good info already on these boards:

Post back if you still have questions....again, welcome.

3) In the phone app, under options, you can turn off phone logging. I've done so as I don't want missed calls showing up in Messages. Even if you turn it off, you can use View Folder in Messages to view the call logs.

yes i've done the logging thing and i still get the notification message...

Phone >Options >Call Logging >Show these Call Log Types in Message List set to "None." If you've done this you shouldn't get an email-like message in the message list. You'll still get a notification of a missed call and an icon, however, just not in the message list.
