Yes, but what about putting the dot on the same page on the virtual keyboard? As in: (on the right side of the shifted virtual keyboard:) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 - 0 . I dont see at all what the equals sign is for (that was at the slot before) when entering numbers... then again, maybe it's just me.

I see... so you mean it first displays and formats everything chronologically, taking time x, and _after that_ loads the saved sort order and does that _again_, taking time x :) baad... > [...] > > > Voice recorder: Still missing.
