1: how the hell do you close it haha
2 sometimes it refuses to type into certain text boxes only had that problem using igoogle search so far but still one hell of a nice peice of kit so happy i can use preware to its full potential now!!!
3 back space doesnt work

I was just checking. All of my contacts are saved in several places anyway so that would not have been an issue.

you close the virtual keyboard the same way you open it, double tapping the gesture area.
Sometimes, when i suffer the same behaviour of not beeing able to type in certain boxes, i just click the enter or try to close and open it again and it works.

But it's still buggy though

Can someone help out with where i can get the Sprint WebOS doctor downloaded from? If i go to Palm, they ask for the serial number, and i can't get the download.

If you do go ahead with this you need to remember that it will change certain things on your Pre and you can only fix some of them. First of all it will obviously default your region and language settings to the US. You can change the region later under regional settings but your language options are only English (US) or Spanish. In your contacts it will add some Sprint support numbers but you can easily delete them. In your launcher it will add a variety of Sprint apps and Amazon MP3. You can tweak most of these to make them hidden but you will still have Sprint (launches the Sprint web homepage), Sprint Navigation and Amazon MP3. Aside from from that everything else works as you would expect with all of the added benefits of webOS 1.2.1 and a full array of tweaks.

Quick question....
Where can I find the Sprint firmware and are there any special instructions I need to follow?

Thanks

Thank you very much rwhitby.
Is it safe to assume that http://palm.cdnetworks.net/rom/p121r...0ewwsprint.jar is the latest version containing 1.2.1?

I mean the jar file is called 1.0.0 but there is no link for the 1.2.1 jar file. The wiki page just mentions that it exists.

My understanding is that it will work. Why do you want to flash back?

Cheers

You can doctor your Pre back when we get parity.



EDIT: Vas the link was two posts above you anyway.

A long shot, but does Sprint Navigation work in the UK? And is it pay-per-day?
