I put up some pictures at: http://home.online.no/~malin/test/cp-phone.html On the second picture you can see the levelmenu. >> >>>>- Too small pieces.

The two programs I know of for this phone (see the above html-page) are too weak. The first is about 10-1100 at the hardest level and the second crashes too often when adjusting it to be stronger. But! what I would have wanted most was a gameviewer in addition. Imagine to download latest games from Wijk aan Zee and play through them all when you sit in the car to wait for the wife be finish in the shop. Odd Gunnar
