Re: I hate my W580i, need help

It does not lock the keys. The only way it locks the keys is if I'm at the idle screen and slide the phone closed. When I am done with a call, I always slide the phone closed and put it in my pocket. I end up calling people accidentally when I do this. I turned on the feature called, "close to end call" but it still doesn't lock the keys unless I press the end call button, wait a second for it to return to the idle screen, then slide the phone closed.

When I'm doing something on the phone when I slide the phone closed I am done with what I was doing, and I would like the phone to lock the keys. Again, I end up calling people because the phone wasn't at the idle screen when I closed it. I upgraded from a flip phone, and I really got used to just flipping it closed and putting it in my pocket.

Speed dial. I have to press the number, then hit the call button. Why the extra key stroke? Is there a way to make it dial the speed dial number just by holding down the associated number key?

The only reason I bought this phone is because it allows me to take text notes. I don't listen to music, take pictures, or anything else. All I am looking for is a phone that works as a phone and allows me to take text notes.

Any tips on how to deal with the things I don't like, or does anyone know of another non-PDA phone that will take text notes. I like to comfortably fit the phone in my pocket, and anything with a QWERTY key board is too big for that.

Thanks.
