It’s been a slow news week here in Woodland Hills, and as I’m sifting through material for some new restaurant reviews, I figured I’d make a post about something I saw yesterday that amused me.  First, I got this press release in my e-mail:

WHAT: Classroom-style training for Verizon Wireless customers on the new Motorola DROID, Palm Pre Plus and other Smartphones.
Attendees can learn about a variety of topics, including how to:

  • Text message
  • Set up speed-dial
  • Synch with an address book
  • Send e-mail
  • Browse the Internet
  • Use the camera
  • Use Bluetooth and other accessories
  • Change the ringtone

Registration is not required.  Customers who do not yet have an advanced device but would like to learn more about these devices are also welcome to attend.
Customers who are unable to attend an in-store event can attend an Internet-based instructional class to learn about their new device at www.verizonwireless.com/learning.

WHEN: Thursday, March 11, 5:30 – 7:30 p.m.
