How do you send and view text messages on an Android phone?

Q. I know this sounds dumb, but I just got my first smartphone and I'm stumped. I put the SIM card from my old (non-smartphone) phone into the new Android phone. How do I view my old text messages?? And how do you text? Seriously. Can someone give me step by step instructions? It uses a touchscreen.

A. Your old Text Messages are saved to your old phone's internal memory (not to the SIM card/SD Card). There isn't a way to recover these messages.

To text on an android phone:
1) Open up the message application
2) Click on Compose new Message
4) Enter in the contact who you want to send a message to
5) Write your message in the box below where you entered your contact's name
6) click on the send button

What are the big cons of rooting your Android phone other than voiding the warranty?
Q. I am looking at rooting my android phone (captivate) so I can do wifi hotspots without having to tether it. Is it worth it?

A. Rooting is up to you... the only thing rooting does is give you SuperUser access (good power) to the phone.

Contrary to Yahoo Answers and Noob Belief... Rooting does NOT violate Warranty. Androids ARE NOT I-crap-phones and.. oh god... i need germ-x now... Gulp... Jailbreaking... Where's my mints!...

The only CON.... is if your the kind of person who thinks they know everything... and roots without following all the directions... and ends up bricking the phone...

go to Androidcentral.com and research

Enjoy
