BAsic info for an old bloke

[Guest ukracer]

Hi

I usually spend a lot fo time researching but at this moment I am in need of a stable phone.

I purchased a ROM from modaco (Not sure what it was for ) lol I think it was my vega Tablet.

BUt I had done some things to my desire. I think I have rooted it. But my age is playing its tricks and upon reading through the posts to see how I can get more space on my desire I came along this. Below. The thing is it means less to me each time I read it....can anyone explain what all these abbreviations etc mean.

What I really want is a nice stable phone that does not keep rebooting when a call comes in and I am using Navigation. A phone I can use skype on. Typing more than voice use).

Could someone just take a few mins to explain what we are doing with our phones and why there appears to be so many things you can stick on it even before you start downloading program to fill up the memory??

Thanks in advance.
