  4. This is great, thank you!

    You should also write about SlideIT, which is an application that replaces the keyboard of the Vivaz with a slide-technology keyboard. Not much into it, but it has other advantages that I found: 1. when you turn the phone, the keyboard changes the layout portrait/landscape, which was missing on SE S60. 2. It adds a dictionary when typing in keyboard mode, which is also missing (Nokia has it and it's great, we only have the T9 when using the numeric layout) so now you will have auto correction and auto completion when you type. 3. you can add a writing language to the phone without changing the firmware. I guess this is one of the more important reasons that people need their own regional firmware, but here it is solved. Hope it helps :-) (BTW, it is paid on Ovi store at EUR 3, but you can find for free...)
