General Android-ness

I did mine online this afternoon and I got the switch your phone off and on text back half an hour ago and like Pete I've had the Orange / T-Mobile name instead of Orange on my iPhone 3GS, and so far I've noticed a difference as usually at home I get a very weak signal, where as now I'm getting 3/4 bars so it's a vast improvement for me.

With me it said 'Text Yes' to 2121 and then I got a text back saying it was sorted... no rebooting

Original Orange users seem to get "Reply to this text with YES" and then a request to switch off then on; while original T-Mobile users get "Text YES to 2121" but then don't need to switch off.

ARGH.

Have fooked my SD card. I think it might have been caused by connected as a drive to an XP machine (windows 7 prompts to "format" - which I can dismiss by clicking cancel).

Its still working, but I get a message saying its in read-only mode and causes problems with Spotify.

Little help?

If it won't come unstuck via a simple phone reboot then your phone can format it again: Settings > SD & Phone storage > Unmount SD card then Format SD Card. Obviously a backup would be required.

Formatting would wipe it yes? (Duh!)

So if I copy it to a folder on the PC, do this, I can restore?

Yes it would wipe it. Obviously the usual precautions apply. I'm not actually sure what those ARE on android, but...y'know....

I've never used Android before, but one of the big complaints I hear is that the UI is a huge mess. I know iOS is so sterile and controlled by megalomaniac Steve Jobs, and Windows Phone 7 has its gorgeous and flexible Metro UI, but do all you Droiders have issues with the UI, and the variations brought in by the manufacturers?
