I love my 8125 but...

After using Nokia for years I took the plunge and got the 8125 thru my Premier discount. It took me several days to get used to the OS but mostly everthing has been great so far. I do have some minor rants though. I've been so spoiled by Nokia's intuitive OS that using WM5 sometimes frustrates me.

Questions:

1. How can I close/minimize programs w/o using the stylus? Can I do that using Spb Pocket Plus?
2. Can I have minimized programs show up as icons on the today screen so I can navigate them with the d-pad?
3. Back button...back button? Almost all the programs don't have that feature!
4. How can I add phone numbers and email address FROM EMAILS AND SMS to a contact in my contacts list?
5. How can I hide my SIM contacts?
6. How can I search contacts by first-letter basis? I can't seem to do it like I could on my Nokias.
7. Can I assign individual ringtones for SMS?

Maybe the answers already lie somewhere in this forum...I'm just lazy to lurk for them. Thanks!

1. Hit the red end key
4. Make sure the numbers are saved to the phone and not to the SIM card, you should be good to go after that.
5. There isn't a way to hide the sim contacts

6. You should be able to search by just typing in the first few letters of the first or last name.

1. SmartSKey (must register to see and download file)
2. No, some programs do it (Pocket Informant)
3. I hear ya brother, especially in WMP.
4. Just EDIT the contact, there you can add information
5. WM5 is designed for syncing with a PC or an Exchange Server, contacts on your SIM card are redundant and unnessasary. Not many people go from a Smartphone back to a regular mobile phone...
6. Use the keyboard or the "phone pad"
7. Nope
