Not sure if you guys have the same problem as mine in 2.1, but connecting the phone to the PC can trigger the phone to restart. It seems that current solution is to put the phone to silent mode before connect to PC. Big bug I suppose, so we should expect another update from SE soon.

when i connect, i only see 3 options on my phone screen. that data sync thing | install pc companion | charge phone.

no issue so far. i even used my n82 mircoUSB cable sometimes. no prob oso. can charge n transfer file.

i tried installing, but NFS shift is optimized for those androids wif bigger screens. can run the game but some major area of the view is cropped

2nd day of x8 experience. playing all night with this device.
1. install ADW launcher, gone the fugly se interface. can cramp all my widget in one page. yey!
2. install Adv Task Killer. wonder why RoadSync and Music Player always appear on the list?
3. install papago x5. frankly, garmin is way better.
4. i had this problem, i dont want threaded sms, yet no single android app can help. windows mobile need 1 registry modification to do the job. what a shame.
5. camera is laughing stock.
6. angry bird is good. slice it is even better.
7. battery life could be better.

correct me if i'm wrong, the objective of rooting is to enable some application which need 'elevated' authority for it to work (such as app2sd). other then that, what is rooting for?

thanks again!
