Hi there

I'm looking for someone who can help me with adjusting the regional settings on my phone.

I've got the region set to the right one, English (South Africa) where I am, but I would like to have more options with regards to date display...

the only options I have are either "yy/mm/dd" or "yy-mm-dd"

and I'd really like to change it to "ddd, dd mmm, yyyy"

From Modaco (http://wiki.modaco.com/index.php/Windows_Mobile_5_Registry_Tweaks):

Change the Short Date Format

Applications may call upon the system to provide a 'short date format'. One such application is the Date/Time display in the taskbar, if set to show the date. To change the Short Date Format to show "Mon/2" (example):

HKLM\nls\overrides\SSDte = "ddd/d " (REGSZ string, no quotes)Note 1: For more information on date/time formatting strings, see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vbenlr98/html/vafmtuserdefineddateformats.asp
Note 2: All applications using the short date format will be affected by this change. Choose wisely
