Schedule some free one-on-one tutoring on how to use your Android flavored Verizon phone

For those who have bought an Android model at Verizon and aren't sure how to get the most of your device, Big Red is now offering free 30 minute one-on-one classes to help those who have purchased a Motorola DROID, Motorola DEVOUR or HTC Droid Eris learn the intricacies of the Android OS. A Business Week writer recently scheduled some time to learn more about his just purchased Motorola DROID. The problem was the short battery life that the user was experiencing. During the 30 minute session, the writer was informed about the need to close apps that are open in the background and how to download tools from the Android Market to help. Other questions were asked, most of them not the kind that anyone reading a phone blog would probably ask, such as whether Wi-Fi speeds are faster than 3G. But these lessons might come in handy for relatives or friends who are constantly bugging you by asking you questions about their new Android device. If they are a Verizon customer, mention the free sessions which are offered at Verizon's corporate stores on weekdays from 11am to 7pm. Have them call their local store for an appointment. Remember, these tutoring classes are not for the more advanced user to go ask about how to root their DROID. They are meant to teach Android newbies how to become proficient on all of the features that such a phone has to offer.
