Desktop Shortcuts
 
Loving the phone so far.

Even had latest football scores video streaming to phone while being at an actual game myself... which I was pretty amazed how well it worked!

One thing, I can't work out how to get a Mail, Phone or SMS shortcut on to my desktop??? I currently have to go in to the menu to select it.

However, I do wish you could use the phone more in portrait mode for things, like SMS etc. And the screen is nowhere near as responsive and natural as the iPhone

But these are small things, overall, I love this piece of equipment! :D

Add shortcut didn't work?

Note that you cannot add two of the same shortcut, and there is already a phone and messaging shortcut on the desktop out of the box, so you won't see them as options until you delete the existing ones (but why would you do that?!?)

Ahhhh thank you!

Didn't notice them shortcuts on the third screen. :)

Now off to find a decent Video converter so I can watch Films in fullscreen....

@CharlieCharlie, you can try mplayer with -fs -zoom flags

[edit] of course I mean for playback on the device, not for conversion :)
