Best way to backup your contacts, calendar etc....ActiveSync backs up on your computer. You can also link your Gmail, GCal along with your GContacts over Google's servers.

You can assign ANY ringtone to any contact...do that by editing the said contact...you'll find it.

PHM Registry Editor (google that one...or search the forum)

Showcase is a decent enough task manager you can hide the button under the clock in a 6.5.3 build. Also, some kitchens have the taskmanager out of the Experia 2 available. It may be available as a cab as well...search and ye will find.

psShutXP is a light weight app that will allow you to reset with going to the button. You can also map that to a hardware button as well.

changing quick launch apps use the menu button on the bottom right...and you should see what you need to remove quick links.

linking facebook...you'll have to go into the contact and slide the slider all the way to the right...think one of the options in one of the soft buttons allow you to link to facebook.

if you bring up the options for Opera...you can exit Opera from there.
