Does anyone have a better UI for the P910i

One that looks clean and is easy to navigate. Also is there anyway to easily turn on/off BT with out having to flip open the cover?

what do you mean by "Does anyone have a better UI for the P910i"??? it doesnt make any sense, the UI is fixed, you cannot change it.

and as far as i remember you have to open the flip to turn off BT.

You can change the looks of the UI, but it's gonna stay Symbian UIQ whatever you do to it...what's so bad about it specifically??

That wasn't a serious question, was it? Anyway, if it was serious... umm, nope you cannot just change the UI on the p910 - it's pretty much "fixed". But wait a little while though - sony ericsson is long overdue to release UIQ 3.0, which some are saying is more "user friendly" than the previous versions.

cheers!

i meant the look of the User Interface not the operating system. By clean i meant something thing that has the look of the Windows Mobile OS. There has got to be a better way to turn on/off BT with out having to open the flip cover.

If I'm not mistaken there're themes, although I'm not sure if there's one to make it look like PPC...

After unlocking the keypad lock. (Either by the Jog or the keypad) turn the jog downwards all the way, press enter and press '9' then u're off turning ON/OFF for Bluetooth, or Infrared. You can also purchase the software, dubbed 'Key Mapper' and assign ur Internet button (Under the camera button) assign 'Press Once' as Bluetooth-ON; and assign 'Press and Hold' as Bluetooth-Off. And you're off with the fastest BT ON/OFF communicator available.

Download/Buy the software HandyDay 2004/5 then installed it. By default, it has a screen which pops open while u opened ur flip. And it shows ur calendar, missed calls, messages, task and so on. Something like the 'Now!' screen of PPCs. Be very wary of HandyDay 2004 thou, if it's active, you cannot view pics in full screen. Weird, unsolved bug.

commedecargons, you are the man! At least now i dont have to flip open the cover.
I installed handyday for a bit but was unimpressed because you had to pull up the page everytime. I was just looking for a UI that was visible when the flip was closed/opened that had the same info as Window Mobile.
