5300 camera and external lcd question

I just got my 5300 and had a few questions.

1) is it possible to have the external lcd on when taking pictures of myself (while the phone is open) -- this would allow me to better frame the pics.

2) while surfing the web with vision the phone does not display the time and or date ( same with screen saver background), is there any way to do this?

3) when i close the phone after using vision the phone stays connected to the web. is there a way to get it to end the vision call when i close the lid?

4) phonebook - how can i get it to change the number it will dial when I hit talk? currently it is dialing all home numbers, but i want some set to mobile.

Thanks in advance for all the help guys.

1) Why can't you simply turn on the camera, then close the phone and use the external LCD to take a photo of yourself (using the external camera button)?

3) If you are worried about not getting an incoming call, that's no problem--you will receive incoming calls as long as Vision is not *actively* transferring data. If you want to return to the default screen background, etc., you have to hit End.

I wanted to use the external screen while phone is open because the other party often like to see how it is framed.... ie. one person taking the picture while another is watching. I remember reading a review where it said the external LCD could be activated while the phone was open. Not sure how to do this but it seem like it should be easy to do.

Also while I am in a call is there a way to use the external screen to check time / date.

Thanks

Yes the external screen can be seen when opened on certain things, like when changing settings that involve settings 2 the sub lcd..

To answer one of your other questions about the phonebook:
When you highlight a number hit the arrow key to the right and it will change the "H" to "M". I know that it works this way on my 8100 anyway.
