You should look into smoothing groups. They are pretty simple and easy to use and will make your model look smoother.

There is a little Jpeg tip/tutorial thing that shows you a little bit about it. It might take a little experimenting to really understand it at first.

I use 3dsmax, and that is the same program that guy on that site uses. Specular highlights are the brightly illuminated parts of a model. like on the teapot above the specular highlights are those white areas on the model.
