    1. search market for calendar widget
    2. Don't think so
    3. Mount to your pc, create /media/audio/alarms on the sd card and add the mp3 file you want to use. Unmount from PC and mount back to device and it will be there. same goes ofr /media/audio/ringtones and /media/audio/notifications

    Market has several time/date widgets that put a large time&date on your screen. Downloaded a pretty good one last night as the one on the tool bar is too small for me.

    Settings
    Screen and display;
    Set your screen to never time out.
    I would find a clock and calender widget
    In the market place.
    Also if u hold the screen it will bring
    up the widget menu.
    Where u can make folders; and drag the calender into that
    there is also a clock widget as well that u can put on your screen.
    Try playing with making folders from your widget menu.
    To bring up widgets menu on home screen just press and
    hold the screen

    What? My virtual keyboards have: ?123 , Space . :-)
    where the :-) key inserts a smiley, it certainly doesn't do a carriage return.

    Is there a setting that I need to change?

    Edit: Actually, it might have to do with the app I'm in, because on the Messaging app it has the smiley and no enter, but I've noticed on some other apps, the virtual KBs have the Enter key.

    Yeah, this is an issue with the software I'm almost certain. I think it has something to do with the way Facebook reorganized their website recently (i.e. you have to click on live feed to see what is actually going on).

    I just got rid of the widget as it took up so much space and essentially was useless.

    Let me guess. ChompSMS or Handcent?

    Look in settings for the app. There's an option for the enter key function.
