Update your status After you add a social networking account, you can update and see your current status in a Social Status widget on your home screen. To update your status, just touch your Social Status widget and enter text. If you have more than one account, you can use the pull-down menu to limit which accounts are updated. If you don't see a Social Status widget, flick your home screen left or right to check all panels. To add a Social Status widget: 1 Touch and hold an empty spot on your home screen to open the Add to Home screen menu. 2 Touch Widgets > Social Status. The widget appears in the empty spot, and will show your status the next time your phone updates from the network. Add accounts Note: You can add your Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, or other accounts to your phone. If you don't have accounts, you can visit their Web sites to set them up. Find it: Menu account > Settings > Accounts > Add To sign into your account, use the user name or email and password that you set up on that account (the same as on your computer). 12 Social networking When you sign into social networking accounts, you'll see your friends and contacts in your Contacts list, and your status and updates can appear in Social Status and Happenings widgets. Twitter and MySpace messages will always appear as "read" on your phone, but your phone notifies you when you receive a new message. MySpace marks your messages as "read" online. For email accounts, see "Set up messaging" on page 20. Tip: To download updates faster, use "Wi-Fi" on page 50. View account updates & features After you add a social networking account, you can see and respond to friends' updates with the Happenings widget on your home screen. If you don't see one, set one up in "Widgets" on page 27. When you touch the Happenings widget to open an update, you can touch the social network's icon to open its Web site. Note: Your network or other factors might affect the speed of widget updates.
