What's it like on answering a phone call?

I like the bit in your video where you pretended you had a girlfriend:

Maybe get her to ring you so we can see what the call answering is like.

I'm assuming the new 6 x 4 icon home screen is to do with widgets not displaying properly on the old 8x4 setup... some widgets would have the edges cropped off... for example, the mixzing widget or even the default power widget...

If that's the case though, the mixzing widget still doesn't display properly lol... but I've been using ADW as my default home anyway so it's not really going to effect me.

I doo have a girlfriend dammit! We had a 1 year anniversary on Wednesday as it so happens ^^

Yes when you click the carrier there is no optino to add homescreens, so you are stuck with 5 - no more, no less.

You know, call me crazy but... I think I preferred the old keyboard... yes it wasn't perfect, but i got used to it... maybe I'll get used to this one too, but I'm missing the @ ? and ' symbols, and I'm missing the numbers.. and the left and right arrows... and the button to dismiss the keyboard...

I liked the fact there was no limit to have 1 or 2
Will the option ever come back?

Not to answer a call but during the phone kept blacking out on me

I noticed this the first phone call I made

And I found out what causes it
Theres a censor in the speaker
(try it out dail 4444 from your o2 streak and hover your finger over the censor left to the speaker)

So basicly the censor depends on light to know if your looking at the phone or listening to the phone.

Note: I'm still on 1.6.
