you are not supposed to hold down # for a long time, just press it before and while you hit 0

it's an old trick actually to bring out your screensaver on the screen. you can press # along with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, * or any key actually.

if you don't set any screensaver, then the screen will get off like your phone does. [addsig]

on my w550i it seems to work if the screensaver is on,

but does not work with the screensaver off.

only works for a few seconds. then it comes out of the screensaver as if you have pressed a button.

yes it works with # and any button

Neat! I always used to go into keylock mode to show people my screensaver. Now there's a faster way! Awesome.
