Hi few questions:

How can i turn the leds on to use it as a torch? I downloaded an app which i thought would do it but after it downloaded it dissapeared!?!?

Theres lots of emulators, how do i go about playing them!? Where do i get the games!? I'd love to play the original doom on it is that simple to do?

Also what happened to the recent update that UK never got?

Thanks

Wayne

Elaborating on blue_led's post,

You can turn on the flashlight applet (via Status Menu) when the camera lens is exposed, and the camera application is closed.

You need to download ROMs to use emulators (I will not post any links, due to the disputed moral responsibilities of downloading them). Search it on Google, beware of viruses and other malware.

Most emulators have customizable button layouts, so you can choose them to fit your needs.

As for the UK update, search the forums. There's plenty of discussion, both constructive and destructive.

(P.S.: PrBoom is a doom port, and has a bunch of preloaded levels. Not sure if it's extras or extras-testing)

That's already in extras-devel, I believe.

wrcaller, you can also change the key bindings by looking through Options.

Although I have to agree. The N800 seemed much better at gaming (perhaps because it was bigger?).
