Thanks so much for your prompt reply, Mautz. It is appreciated (as always).

Well, eventually, I couldn't sleep last night, so I decided to retrace my steps and re-installed your 2.1.3.7 image - no ota'ing at all this time. And look and behold, everything seems to be working just fine.

Now I am in the process of setting everything up. So far, things have been going remarkably smoothly. So, I guess, I'll just wait for your 2.2.x image.

Thanks a million for all the help!!!

On a different note, since xt9 isn't working, I was wondering what are you guys using for word predictions (especially for English and German)?
