Okay, I'm loving my new A81 and have customized the dickens out of it already!

Confession: even though I really like having the Silverlight interface, I found it too restricting and removed it after the first day. Now I'm back to the old ugly traditional desktop which I'm so familiar with (it hasn't changed in over a decade). Doesn't bother me one bit.

Now, for my infamously ignorant questions...
The keyboard/transcriber.
Does anyone else have a problem where it occasionally stays on screen and there is no way of hiding it, unless rebooting? And when the screen is rotated, the keyboard is too wide for the screen? Solutions?

Standby on battery.
Upon reviving the device, the screen often is either solid black or solid white. No amount of clicking or prodding seems to help. Once again, only a 'force off' seems to bring it back to normal.

Certain websites.
Something on specific webpages suck all the available memory and for all practical purposes the device becomes unfunctional... until that force quit!!

Coreplayer.
I keep hearing how good this app is but so far I haven't been able to get it to do anything at all. Am I wrong in assuming it has access to youtube? It sure isn't finding anything for me. I have no instructions and all the logical places to input text have no effect except to display "cannot be found". Aw come on... even the little free apps I've put on the A81 have no trouble going to youtube. Is there a hidden setting or dialog somewhere?

Internet Explorer.
No problem displaying most web pages but any time I attempt to download a file, it does nothing at all. Lucky that I've put several other browsers on which actually do allow me to download. (((Iris Browser gets an A+ for this)))

thanks for help.
