=:-) I have a E398 too and was tinkering with it a bit.

I have them too. They run fine, as long as you have the right
USB-Drivers installed. There are quite a few howtos in the web,
just ask the google.

I don't know if the E398 will run with the V600 firmware, but I
doubt it. Flashing the firmware is not covered by the warranty
(at least not here in Switzerland where I live), so decide
yourself if you want to try. In other words: This is dangerous! =:-)

OTOH I could at least delete all the branding stuff that gets me
in the way with PST.
And with P2K I could download the JAR-Files from the games I
bought and backup it on a CD or wherever. They're named
differently in the phone so you have to guess by comparing
filesizes, but it works.

CU, Venty

This sounds silly.

I realized I could change the "skin" only after 2 weeks of using it. This skins
aren't changed when you change themes.
