G1lagid,

For the pics for wallpapers
ok make sure you put it in the right folder
and you can put them in two folders like downloads and Pictures
and its easier to do if you have the phone connected other than a micro sd usb reader
i dont know wat your using but jus makin sure
and once you do that go to your pics and press and hold the pic and it will
ask you wat do you want like crop set as details and wat not and select wallpaper

and for street view make sure you have the gps on from the setting menu
and if you do select a place then press menu
and select map modes and select street view

I don't think its necessary for GPS to be turned on. I have mine off since it uses up more of the battery and it works perfect for me.

swat03,
Interesting !

i tried it and it told me that it couldnt locate me

[swat03]

really? i just checked mine and it located me, its not an exact location since GPS is off but it was only off by 2 blocks. It may be the area, I'm not sure.

G1lagid,
My friend, I got it, around 11 am, but I did not have a lot of chance to play with it, also, just in case I left to to ran out of battery completely that it would not turn on even when you press the red button, ( I drained all the battery out), so now I am folliwng the tip  to charge around 6 hours in arrow, so lets see how it works the battery after this

Where do you go to turn the gps on?

Where do you go to turn the gps on?

in the Main Screen
1) Press Menu
2) Press Settings
3) Select Security and Locations
4) Enable GPS Satellies (check mark that) It should be green, but remember that consumes a lot of battery, so when you are not using it, disable it.
