Hi, I have removed my flip. How can I lock the phone from the virtual flip? I've searched but can't find this. Like you press OK then * to unlock it, I want to press a couple of keys to LOCK it - like most Nokias, OR set the automatic lock to come on sooner once the virtual flip is showing. Sorry if it's obvious.

Cheers!

It works exactly the same as when the flip is on.

If you want to lock it manually you press the options button (the one to the right of the little c) and choose turn on keylock.

...or if you want to use automatic keylock (and you have turned it on in Phone - Edit preferences) then just close the virtual flip by clicking the blue square on the bottom line of the display.

Hitting option key and then 1 key is the easiest way IMHO.

same as hitting option key and OK isnt it? no easier and no harder?
personal preference really, rather than being easier.

My favorite is pull jogdial towards you and then press it. That way i can do it only with my thumb and with one control button (jogdial)

Can't understand this. 'Option' then '1' worked fine. Now, option 1 is 'turn on silent' instead of 'turn on keylock' -- grrrrrr Any ideas why option 1 changes? (This is the option button on the virtual flip.) Thanks!

Edit:

Duhhhh! I had the mains lead plugged in and power on! Solved.

my bad, i meant it was easier than using the jog dial.

hitting ok or 1 does the same thing as it is first in the list.
