Is There Any Way To Speed Up The Blazer Web Browser?
Sure, turning off images will speed things up a lot, especially on forums like this site...just go to options>blazer prefs>no images.

I Keep Getting Old Internet Pages, And Have To Refresh The Page All The Time, Is There Any Shortcut For This?
1st go options>blazer prefs>advanced and clear your cache, then go to cache size and set it to 0 kb, you will now always get a fresh page, and another fringe benifit, more memory for other programs!

If I Dont Use The Internet For A Little While Then Blazer Will Freeze Up For A While Until I Get An Error Message, What Do I Do?
You Will Have To Options>Disconnect, and then reconnect.(or you can do shift D)
If you havent used the internet for a while, but you know its connected(i.e. you see the grey vision arrows), i prefer to use scott's text messanger app, rather than let blazer tak its precious time timing out. just go to text messanger, and push send message(obviously without putting in any phone number or message in)and then a disconnect box will come up, and you wont have to wait for that anooying "time out" by blazer.
EDIT:Firmware XG23 for the most part fixes this problem!

How Do I Make An Incoming Call Go Directly To Voicemail?
(If the phone was last left on the palm side, you will have 3 options, either yes, no or ignore. yes will answer it, no will send it to voicemail, ignore will let it continue to ring for the caller, but will silence your ringer. if it was left on the phone side you wont have any options besides for answering it or closing the phone)
---EDIT:Just hold down the (left side)volume keys while the phone is open or closed, and the caller will be rolled over into your voicemail!(Thanks stack697 for the tip!)

I'm getting an error message saying that memory is full, or a file is corrupt, reset or otherwise your phone will not work properly, what do i do ?
So against every warning you saw on the i500 against it, you still felt the need to hotsync your i500 to an old palm username?
1st of all you'll need to hard reset. them create a new username for the i500 on your computer. Now, as for getting your apps onto the i500, there are 2 options, the perhaps simpler, but longer way would be to beam it over, i reccomend beampro as that lets you beam many apps over at one time. the other way is to locate your palm backup folder(can't find it? do a find files and folders search for backup) and manually copy and paste APPS ONLY, not any PREFS from your old backup folder into your new backup folder with your new username.

What Other Ways Are There To Enter Text Besides Graffiti?
1.abc mode on the phone pad
2.EZ(predictive) text mode on the phone pad, by pushing the #key down for about 2 seconds, you can also add words to a personal dictionary in this mode.
3.On screen Keyboard, by hitting the little a on the graffiti pad.

Will The i500 Work With Anyone Besides For Sprint?
Yes, it would work for any cdma carrier(i.e. verizon, alltel, etc.)
3 Caveats,
1:You need to get the MSL from sprint(which can be obtained by reprogramming your phone by calling sprint CS.)
2.You will have to coerce your provider to activate a competing company's phone(this shouldnt be too big of a problem.
3.Only voice calls will work, data will most likely not work on your respective carrier.
