it's pretty dang cool. only thing is i dunno what to do to have to save battery and get calls...do i hit the power button and turn the screen off? the green light still blinks but i dunno if i can get calls or not. or do i just let the screen backlight go out by itself? i'd call my phone to see if it can get calls but my service hasnt switched over yet so i'm having to carry my old cingular phone too for the next 3 days...

If it's what I think it is, just a quick press on the power button will turn the screen off but still let it receive calls. A longer press will turn the backlight off but leave the screen itself running.
