here is a great little program to get more use out of the soft keys on windows mobile 5 devices.

For me, I find it especially useful on the kjam in keyboard closed mode

The program will remap the softkey buttons and volume buttons:

tap soft key = orginal soft key functions
tap and hold left soft key = start menu
tap and hold right soft key = close/ok button
volume slider at the left = page up/down

To reset to default, soft reset the phone.
To make the program run after reset, put a shortcut at /windows/startup

Download smartskey from here

WOW... sounds cool, I will try it out and give some feedback on it. Its freeware I assume... If if it isn't I would pay for an app like this.

Will it work on the SPV C600?

If so, I may have to download it. May need some of your help though guys with installing it - Im not too good at IT/technical stuff (Im one of those arty farty types!!) :-I

I have no idea if it will work on C600, you'll have to read that thread

installing is manual, but easy. just connect the device (assuming you have activesync installed) to your pc, browse to "program files" on the device and copy the smartskey.exe and .ini to a new folder there and run the smartskey application which will load it into memory

run the application again to close it
