If you just got your phone and did the update when prompted, then you should be running Froyo now. To check, go to menu, settings, about, software information and it should say Andriod version 2.2

2. Isnt the SMS entered by keypad by default?

3. Phone holsters u can get by online purchase or from HTC shop (there's one in KLCC). Online ones should cost abt US$20+, the one form HTC shop is RM100+ I think, but sometimes no stock. I got mine from Singapore, cost S$38. There are a few types, better to check them out b4 buying. It's recommended you get one that covers the phone up to slightly above the screen. Either that or get a two piece set lo..backplate and front plate.... I prefer the rubberised type rather than the plastic covers...feels nicer
