"Clean Up Keys" is a feature for cleaning up the activation keys on DRM locked music, video, etc from your service provider. So if you had some DRM locked music on your card, then you deleted it, the activation keys would still be on the phone. Using that feature, you can get rid of them.

Some service providers may not even lock their music, or may not use the activation key system, but that's what it's for. Vodafone uses it.

Some other new stuff in this last firmware - in the Web Feeds menu.

First of all, it is much faster. Before the phone almost froze up when updating all the feeds.

They added a manage podcasts menu.

In the settings menu you can select to download text only and also you can enable/disable the ticker.

When the ticker is shown in standby screen, you no longer have to check all the feeds to make it go away. Now it has a "Hide" button to get rid of it if you don't want to read the feeds. Also, the graphics look a little different.

How big is your memory card, which type you got (M2/mSD) and is it formatted as FAT or FAT32?

Sins the update I had 1 restart which reset the theme. The only thing I did was format my microSD (FAT32) and no sudden deaths till now.

Use twilight portrait to see more of the background when taking photos with flash. But keep your hands steady when you take cos the shutter time is 1/8th of a second instead of the usual 1/250th of a second the normal flash take.

I just been messing about with the phone to get use to the functions and came across on why the photo quality comes out dark when you take pictures
( i was pretty drunk one night and the pictures i was taking was coming out dark!!)
..and its not actually the firmware itself...its the build quality!
the phone itself is pressure sensitive you literally have to hold the phone around the frame to actually get a quality picture
you can test it out for yourself if you hold the phone by applying a lil pressure on the side where the lens is, the picture will not actually come out right, it will come out crap! (you can actually hear the lens shutter to be very faint when you do that)
