Some general E815 how to do it questions

I am not ready to hack the phone yet, maybe not ever, but am unable to do a few things, just wondering if they're possible.

512mb Transflash card with plenty of memory, still get 3 minute limit on recording video, with transflash selected as the device. Is this a hardware limitation or am I missing something?

Does anyone know if there is a shortcut to get the flash to come on other than going thru the menus? Would be great to have a flashlight button.

Also, on the Transflash card reader on my PC I dragged folders of mp3s by album to the root directory, but they all show up in one list on the phone, does this support folder/directories? I did not format the card on my phone (wondering if I need to), but I have created a playlist from my mp3s, so that's kind of a workaround.

Has anyone tried to watch video downloaded on a PC on the phone? I know it supports 3g(something), 3g2, and mp4, but does anyone know if there's a pixel, size, or other limit to the files? Anyone know of any good cheap (free?) converters to convert divx or mpg, or is it not worth the effort?

I'm waiting to receive a 2.5mm to 3.5mm 4pin stereo cable for the mp3 player, it works great for a phone. Listened for 3+ hours and did not seem to use any bars of battery life!

Thanks for any replies!
