Thanks!

FP2 has enhanced security functionality that had only been available through third-party apps. You can remotely lock the phone my defining a unique message (five characters or more. If this message is sent to the phone via sms, the phone will be locked.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Quick question, if you remove the earphones while music is playing, does it now automatically pause?

No dice on this one Mr-X. If I remove the headphones during playback it just
changes to the phone speakers.

Great vid!

Just wanna know if that "breathing" light notifies you about missed events (calls, messages).

Thanks in advance!

Sorry for the delay AleXT. Good news though - the breathing does in fact
notify you of missed events. Right now I have an unread SMS and the d-pad
LED blinks twice and then fades instead of the normal one fade in / fade
out. Very cool!

Can you test and see how USB transfer speeds are on the N78? This was one of my biggest gripes on the N95 in that it took forever to transfer anything over. Thanks.
