You are right, the whole Xmp = better quality thing is bullcrap.
fine for printing huge posters, but not for the average tv/monitor/printing of photos.
@ Dess,
look in the market for SlideIT keyboard app, it lets you select a primary language/secondary language, and also download other language dictionarys from online.
It's a better keyboard than the stock one, and the sliding for entries is far better.

@ RottenFoxBreath: thanks for your replies and valuable tips!
Maybe, because of the sim card switch the unit locks. I think I'll have to reset it.
I've tried that once, - duh, nothing happened - anyone tried that successfully?
Q: is it possible to use English menus with non English Language (add a second - non English - keyboard layout for input texting)
T.Y.

Because a lot of people are commenting about the GT540 'only' having a 3Mp camera I thought I would add this.
Lets say that it had a 12Mp camera, which some phones now have. The image size would be 4360 x 2912 pixels. (12,719,616 pixels). The most common size monitor has a resolution of 1280 x 1024, so the image would be the size of 4 monitors! Who needs that?
LG phones have always had good cameras, my last phone was a Viewty, and the pictures were superb.
I took a picture on my GT540 at 3Mp res and sent it to a friend. It took nearly 20 minutes to send. Multiply that by 4!
The only problem I have with the GT540 is that the sound is low. I have problems hearing it ring, especially when it is in my pocket, but then I also have a Nokia 5800 which wakes the whole street when it rings!

This a great phone for the price, works a treat on our Vodafone 3g network. I have confirmed with LG here in Australia, that 2.1 will be available in mid Sept. 2010 I have put in a 16gb data card, and it work very well. Just drag & drop your file, no iTunes crap to deal with!

How good is the sound quality on this phone - is it in stereo when playing music with bass? How good is the call quality - anyone?

You need to either speak to your provider, or check your settings, and either stick with 2g, or 3g, by either enabling or disabling "use 2G networks", and switch off roaming, or select another network mode.
As for messaging, the folder style is dead..but for another text app, search the market or try something like Handcent.
