I like the big clock, but I'd like the date (Sat 11 Jan) displayed under the clock too ...any way to make this happen?

Like the clock or not, I just think it's strange SE forces you to use it!! Their phones are super when it comes to personalisation. And then suddenly, you're stuck with a feature you can't turn off. That's what bothers me. The fact I can't turn it off if I want to...
There is an option that makes it possible to leave te backlight on. Is this good for the battery or the phone in general? No, but at least you can choose to turn it on or off.
And on my T300 I can't see if I have msg of missed calls, when the clock is on. So, I have to turn off keylock and check. If I could disable the clock screen, I could easily just take a peak from a distance and continue to work... Doesn't mean I don't like the clock, but at work it would be easier not to have it.
My previous phone was a R520, and u had a similar thing there. You could activate a screensaver, so only the bottom line of the screen was on, showing time and operator. But you could just as well turn that option off. I preffered it that way. |

i like the clock, and i can't see any reason to turn it off. perhaps SE were being a bit over-cautious in not giving people the option, but it really is best for you and your phone to leave it on.. |

I guess your right. I see no other reason why they made it this way... Anywayz, it wouldn't take away the fact that both t68 and t300 are superb phones 
And maybe I'll be on time more with this clock  |

But I would like to add just one more thing to this topic...
Have you seen how many posts there are on this forum about that clock??? I'm sure everyone will agree with me if I say that it seems to annoy enough people, for SE to do something about it... No? |

The T68i (probably depends on software version) turns the clock on after a long time even when charging, or at least mine does!
I personally like the clock and when you get a new text and it's keypad is locked it turns the LCD on but with no backlight to show you that you've got a text and it blinks it's green led for a short time!
The clock saves shedloads of power cos I THINK that the display is completely off and the phone "inverses" the clock portion so that it reflects the maximum amount of light whilst leaving the rest of the pixels off. Im guessing here but just watch closely next time it goes to sleep and you press the c button to unlock it, you can see it turning the rest of the display on shortly after it activates the backlight.
Sorry if I have bored you to tears but I find my T68i very interesting from a technical point of view. Ive got a T39m too.
