m8, you can't show your 2nd appoinment i'm afraid (as far as i know) and you can't show "Tasks" either :lol:

other than that the layout is the same as one of the Orange screens, except the Shorcuts but you can easily change them ;)

Look in the SPV's Home directory for the XML's copy 'em on to your PC and edit them in Notepad, you'll see the shortcuts easily and they are pretty self-explanatory, once you have edited them rename it etc and put in /IPSM/Application Data/Home :(

Hope this helps :lol:
