Samsung B650 - Widgets and Regions

I wanted to make this thread to

A) Determine if changing the TVs region settings would allow you to have access to more widgets and if not, how can it be accomplished.

B) Gather information about what widgets are available in what countries

If you would like to contribute, please state what model of TV you have, the firmware and your country.

This information will ensure the thread stays useful.

EDIT: To find your firmware and Model
Press [MENU] scroll down to {SUPPORT} then select {CONTACT SAMSUNG} you will find the required info under "Product Information"

To Enter Service Mode.
While the TV is off, Press [INFO] then [MENU] then [MUTE] then [POWER]

Usually have Youtube, Accuweather and just recently News

In service mode i went to {CONTROL} and selected {Info Link Type Server} and changed it from "operating" to "development"

Now i have USA Today, YouTube, Accuweather, Picasa Web Album and Facebook.

Maybe interesting.

I went to {CONTROL} and selected {Info Link Type Server} and changed it from "operating" to "development". Than on the same page I've tried to change country:
- Slovenia (YouTube, Accuweather, Picasa Web Album)
- None (YouTube, Accuweather, Picasa Web Album, Twiter)
- UK (complete yahoo widget snipets - quite a long list)

Then I changed to "developing" and I get under Slovenia also Facebook, News and Ticker.

When having YouTube from one of the first, for typing you use numeric keypad on remote controll like writing sms on cell phone, but when accessing YouTube over Yahoo widgets you have to select letters with arroy keys on remote (very slow).
