in my understanding the backlight wont be turned off while charging if you have your p990 turned off. you have to turn it back on for the lights to turn off.

about the wifi, all you have to do is to find a wifi hotspot and connect to it.that's all.be very careful though about the group priority settings of the internet connections to be used in your phone.yes, you might be connected to the wifi network but if your phone is using smart internet, you'll be charged if that happens.

about the question if there's a charge for wifi, it's a yes and it's a no. yes in the sense of getting a dsl connection plan from a dsl service provider and setting up a personal wireless network. no charges if you're going to connect to some free wifi hotspots..

no prob vinkim..

click on scan..after that highlight on the wireless router that ur p990i has detected and click on the button that looks like two arrows pointing at each other to connect to that router. after that click on the globe icon that blinks on the taskbar and check if your wifi is set at first in the priority list. because if you have smart internet or globe somethin that is set to priority baka macharge ka sa gprs..hehehehe

Ngayon ko lang nakita tong thread na to ah hehe.

^Anyway, in what format are those movie files? Are these DVD-ripped? And where can I get games?

Yep. Great gadget!

Sure there are a couple of bugs/problems/niggles, but most are trivial or minor annoyances. Not enough ruin the phone.

The only thing I don't like about it is the build quality. The flip pad creaks whenever I open/shut it. I've had this unit 7 months already and the flip pad still creaks.... aside from that, it's perfect.
