omj: I dunno why but hitting the top bar just seems really unreliable in general to me :/ maybe my calibration isn't perfect, I'll fiddle with it. thanks. If I use 2.1 I miss all the 2.5 hotness =)
edit: it occurred to me you could fit calendar and call history on the Today screen in VGA if you just ditch the useless bar above the clock which only contains the name of the carrier, and a 'lock' icon...maybe I should suggest that to Max Manila though, seems more like a project for them than for you
