    Tip:  Choose your apps and updates carefully, from

    Choose carefullyApps are great. Theres something for everyone. Play, 
    communicate, work, or have fun. But remember, choose 
    your apps carefully. Here are a few tips:
     To help prevent spyware, phishing, or viruses from 
    affecting your phone or privacy, use apps from trusted 
    sites, like 
    Market
    .
     In 
    Market
    , check the apps’ ratings and comments 
    before installing.
     If you doubt the safety of an app, dont install it.
     Like all apps, dow nloaded apps will use up memory, 
    data, battery, and processing power—some more 
    than others. For example, a simple battery level 
    widget will use less than a streaming music player 
    app. After installing an app, if youre not happy with 
    how much memory, data, battery or processing 
    power its using, uninstall it. You can always install it 
    again later.
     Just like web browsing, you may want to monitor 
    childrens’ access to apps to help prevent exposure to 
    inappropriate content.
     Certain apps may not provide completely accurate 
    information. Take care, especially when it comes to 
    personal health.Important customer informationPlease be advised that many services and applications
