sorry everyone but this is going to be noobville for a few moments, first off
how do i change my phone to look a bit neater with more applications on it? i do enjoy picture messageing, but now with this phone which has wiifi,l i had to set up on a pay as you go for the data being sent.

second question,,, how do i get my flash next to the cam to work?

where can i go to learn more about how to customise my phone and make it do what i want it to do, im 6 months shy of becoming a nurse, any applications or calculators that anyone finds usefull please let me know.

Check out ppcfreeware.com, you can find a ton of free stuff there. As far as putting apps on you need to download the .cab file for the apps to your desktop, after you sync your phone you should be able to seach files on your phone via your computer, next drag and drop the .cab file to "my documents" on your phone. Go to your phone, go to programs, file explore, "my documents" file, and find the .cab file. Double tap it and the program should install. Some files will install via an exe file.
As far as the flash, there should be a button on the screen of when you activate the camera.

Some people make thier own layouts or themes. Some people use Wisbar Advanced and Wisbar Desktop to make them. There are lots of premade layouts and screens you can download and use. There are some threads around here of people posting thier today screens, themes, backgrounds, splash screens and whatever else you can think of.

Keep in mind the WiFi on the 67 only does 802.11b and not 802.11g. It also uses a good bit of battery and because the unit is so small it can only poll for hotspots so far. Thats just how it is with small devices. You can try to upgrade your radio (assuming you havent yet) but I doubt you will see much (if any) difference.
