OK; _you_ tell me:
1) how to import and how to export a contact list.
2) how to select a message for viewing (and deleting).
3) how to prevent apps from pouring in (and then self-installing).
4) how to find out what apps are "hiding", and then delete them.
5) how to get a decent-sized keyboard (say 24 point minimum characters).
6) how to FORCE what-you-enter-is-what-you-get (ie: SANE entry).
7) how to find (other?) hidden messages ("you have 35 new messages" but
none are found).
