Well first of all the first time I turned on the phone, I had two options for the language, english and chinese, and I also have the chinese language option on my virtual keyboard as well as chinese dictionary. And more importantly, the time zone, current time and home town were all set to singapore time, initially.

Oh, By the way, I am pretty much sure that if I spend sme time I can find the answer to my question in the past 410 pages, but if someone here is kind enough to walk me through the steps of setting up my WLAN connection, I would really appreciate it. I need to connect to my home wireless connection. I use WPA and I just dont understand what some of these settings are on this phone. For instance, after I pick the name of the network, I dont know which option to choose after I pick WPA from authentication and move forward. what do I pick in data encryption or network authentication in the next screen or in inner authentication in the screen after that, and also I dont have any username setup for my network, so what do i do with that field.
Please please help. or at least if you which page these things are just direct me there.
Lots of thanks and cheers in advance,

On the tools for searching contacts question.
I came across this great contact manager software DreamConnect 3 (by dreamspring.com). It allows you to find contacts very quickly on any field just by typing any set of letters at the main screen. It's instantaneous and means you don't have to launch a search request every time to find a contact. Also, it's entirely customisable - all fields are open.
Like you - I have a lot of contacts and this tool is ridiculously superior to the rigid inbuilt application - I think they're only at beta stage now but it's worth giving it a free trial run (I guarantee you'll never go back to the SE one if contacts are an important tool in your day).
BTW - I have nothing to gain from this recommendation, although I'm always open to a thankyou from a software vendor

I'll try to help, but a word of caution: in my version of the P990, WPA doesn't work, had to switch my home network to WEP, the fact that it doesn't work has been confirmed by SE in Turkey and they conveniently disappeared after that leading me to conclude that they don't have a fix for it.
Anyway, after you see the name of your network, select it and from the WLAN menu at the top select New Account.
Give it a name, in the SSID field if your network is not displayed hit the search button to its right and select your network.
In turn, select WPA-PSK, infrastructure, then hit next for next screen.
In the next screen select either TKIP or AES, depending on the setup in your modem, in the next field enter your password.
You can move on to the final screen and save your setup. Finally you need to put this account in a group, preferably named wi-fi account following the naming convention.
It should work, but as I said in my version of the P990 WPA does not work so try and let us know.

Oh, it was an awesome tip. I just did what you told me and changed my network to WEP, it totally works. PERFECT!
Although the phone restarted after 1 min the first time I got connected, it hasnt been repeated yet, so fingures crossed, it was just that one time.
Thanx again for the wonderful tip. I dont know if it works with WAP at all, but I now know that it does work with WEP. Thats all I care about!
