I discovered today that I can rename all my phone's menu folders into Chinese. I didn't think it would let me. 

Looks a lot neater now.

It's photo and video applications so I thought 摄影 would cover it.

Bazza, that's so cool. I would love to be able to do that with my phone but how do you do it? (Yet another sign that I'm totally addicted to learning Chinese.) :-)

Bazza, It's great that you'll never wash that phone again, but is Jenny's number on speed-dial?
