For 3-4 days now, with no conscious action on my part, all I get now is a temporary notification of new sms messages - the same icon, in the same location on the title bar but it's only displayed for 2-3 seconds before disappearing. If I'm not watching the screen continuously, I won't be alerted to new sms messages. If you go to the "desktop / homepage, then the Messaging line will continuously display eg "4 unread messages" as appropriate, but if If I happen to be on another page - Calendar, Contacts etc, there is no notification. I've looked thru all the menus and done a couple soft resets. Any ideas?

I am not sure if Leonard and company do that particular job, but I bet they can - or they will point you to someone who can help. :-) I can’t recommend http://www.pocketpctechs.com highly enough.

The tech folk here in Dubai (HTC / Nokia etc) have had a look, and determined that there is a small break in the ribbon cable that runs between the screen and the 'body' of the phone. Lights up normally / adequately as long as keyboard is closed. It's well out of warranty, but I don't mind paying to have it repaired. Where do I get competent service for this phone? (Was bought in Singapore) Thanks Konrad My Dopod 838 Pro’s backlight goes to ‘dim’ when the sliding keyboard is opened to it’s fullest extent – actually only goes dim within about 5% of being fully open.

If anyone knows what's up, it will be him. Sorry it created a new headache! :-( Well Konrad, I’m not sure what the problem is, but you might try writing to the developer at dmitriy.geels @ gmail.com.

I didn't mind having any / all "new" words (even the misspelled ones) added to the system automatically. That's great. I just wanted to be able to edit that "new word" list periodically. My old company-issued Sony T630 does that Now with this new software, nothing gets added until I stop everything + insert the new word into the dictionary. I've probably set someting up incorrectly, which is why I'm facing this challenge. I've tried to enter 'unique' words 3 or 4 times, but they were not added. In the "old" system, any 'new' word was added immediately.. How best do I proceed? Thanks for your attention. Konrad Hi Judie,
