OK, I have this phone, but not with Brew. I have Alltel service with the Apps program, and with this program I am charged minutes when I browse. If I do this on weekends or nights, they don't charge me, as with phone calls. I believe this will vary based on your service provider. AS far as the clock goes, my clock is very small, and at the bottom of the screen, I do not see an option to change this so I'm not sure how to help. Also, sorry to say, I do not have the same background problem, when I take a photo and set it as wallpaper, it fills the screen.

I got this phone for my wife in August. I already replaced it 2 times. I was told if the phone is no good again, the lemon law applies and I will get a brand new phone (hopefully an LG or Samsung).
I think it is a piece of junk. I know others have liked it, but compare to my Samsung 650, the Audiovox is a piece of junk!
