I had some guy come and play with a w810 in our shop some time ago, but something has really been bugging me ever since. What he did was put a Banner of some sort on the phone - Not a wall paper, or screensaver, or anything like that - and I could not get rid of it. There was no edited text in the service menu or anything and I had to end up full resetting the thing to get rid of it! Has anyone ever heard of a banner you can activate on an SE phone? He only played with the thing for a minute or so. Baffles me. Would be quite nice to add your own text on the screen.

Ummm... I think you should go to 'Notes' and create a new note if you don't have any already, then hit 'Options', then 'Show in Standby'.

Is that what you mean?

I have just now realized I have never used a note on any of my SE phones. I always just seen it there and though "oh yep - Theses those notes again" and left it alone! I wonder what else im missing out on...

You and me both!
Never really understood the point until now. As for your punter, cool idea! I'm gonna add a note on the standby screen of every live demo SE phone I come across if for no other reason than to stump the Voda staff!

Umm... no offence intended to you Jism.

I just tried on my W960 and it doesnt work either. Must be because if you have the "Today" screen active you can see the notes there anyways.
