I'm here in Paris France, visiting family and we all pitched in to buy a Touch for my wife's birthday. I turned it on and DUH...all the menus are in FRENCH, and I don't think I can switch the language to English. Coming from S60, I just took it for granted that there'd be several languages on this thing.

Please folks, what can I do? Is there english firmware i can d/l ? Am I up the creek ? Should i try and return it?

Please help me - I'm on a plane back to cali in couple of days, what should I do?

The only quick fix I could suggest is to go to "Settings" in the start menu, if you can't read French, it's the before last selection from the start menu drop down. Once in settings, click on the "system" tab on the bottom, which should be the second one out of the three. Finally, click on the "Regional Settings" which is the Globe icon. from the top drop down list, you can select the language which in your case would be "English American" since you say you'll be going be back to Cali. Again if the list is in French, you should be looking for "Anglais (Americain)"
Power off the phone, restart and you should be good.
Hope this helps.
Good luck

thanks dood. You can't change the OS language (thanks, Bill Gates); all is well though...got a full refund.

you should have went to xda-dev and downloaded a English rom and just flashed it would have been fine.

thank you!!! And thank you very much Mr. Gates for allowing us to do what we want with our phone purchases from you. At least we can change the entire OS language with something as simple as a firmware change!!!!
