@crstacy, you press the * key to activate the light and to lock the phone when its closed just press the on/off button and select keylock
@leesliney, the track ID service is free though i presume you get charged net charges as its using the phones 3g/GPRS connection to get the track info 
Must say i came acustom to the d-pad almost instantly, i really have not had a problem with it and i much prefer it to a joystick. One thing that is bugging me though is a squeek when texting which is coming from the back cover which is pressing against the battery which is in turn rubbing inside the phone and causing the squeek though i am sure a little foam pad stuck to teh back of the batt cover will sort that
All in all an excellent phone SE and i can see myself keeping this one for a while, have'nt liked a phone this much since when i first got a K750i

@scott
Nice tip on the keylock with the phone closed. I didn't realize that you could also change profiles from this feature. This is the one thing that I missed from using Nokia's. Nice to know that SE is now implementing this feature. |

If you use Wotanserver which is the only one with the firmware right now you don't need to know what CDA you require. A bit of background. The CDA is used with the phone model to help determine what updates SEUS uses to update your phone. Choose the wrong one and you may not have your language or it may not update.
Wotan only needs you to know what firmware version you require, and the region where you live. Piece of cake and the support is better than Davinci team. Atleast it was for me. |

You have to choose a CDA, you can change this later by reflashing again if needed. check out www.wotanserver.com and have a look around. They have detailed instructions on getting it to work. And yes there are Flash themes, but your phone needs to be unbranded for most of them to work.
Most important of all make sure your battery is 100% full |
