Ok, there seems to be a problem here, it always move at 3 sec.

When I get up the level menu I can select each level but the only way to get out
of this is to click on the 'back' button, maybe this is like 'cancel' and not
'ok' because when I go into this menu again it is set back to easy.

The screen resolution is: 208 (w) x 320 (h) pixler with 4096 colors.

No problem.

The OS is Symbian 7.0 I guess one version newer than the Nokia phones and at
least the graphiclibrary is different so it's maybe not so easy to combine
several keying mode. I haven't tried myself to program anything for this phone
other than adapt some javascripts so I can view chessgames on the web.
