(plus she's japanese and i can just ask her what all those #$@#$@#$ in the menu mean)

But if you just want to use your phone as a remote control to operate your TV, all you need is a Java app that will control the IR on your phone and work it the same way a TV remote does. All you need to do is find one...

O nice.. that means there's hope for us (P905i users). Now all we have to do is find the app
