that stinks!

edit: i forgot, its the same on all phones which have the power button intergrated into hang up button. as said above, no menu comes up. that button would only work to hang up (obviously ) or comepletely exit a certain menu

Too right!

I've had to add the profiles menu from settings to the shortcuts section of the activity menu, so when i've got a meeting i don't have to faf with the phone as much.

Sadly that still doesn't help with locking the keypad

Dang it .. would prefer I could just lock the keypad without using the slider everytime - I don't have too much faith in the slider as it is (it's a bit woobly, from side to side). Guess I will have to look into the auto-lock feature.

So here comes the first thing which I don't like in C905 (plus for W910 ) - there isn't spetial button for shut down and no such usefull menu. Very bad.

I am not sure if it can done manually but if not y not let it lock itself takes about 10 seconds if u don't touch anything.

Automatic keyguard
From Main Menu>Settings>General>Security>Automatic keyguard>On.

After 10secs of no activity, it will auto lock.

Yeah, that's correct... but sometimes it's nice enough NOT to have key lock on, if you're texting alot I usually SMS from skype but replies will be sent to the phone.

Would have been alot easier if S/E could just have figured out that people MIGHT want to lock the keypad also when they have a phone that can be used completely without opening the slider (except for the SMS part of course)

^^ Need to fix your BBcode

I found it strange at first, as the other sliders I've used have all been Samsungs. But if we're being honest, it really isn't that much of a chore to just slide up and down to lock is it? And I don't think the slider being 'wobbly' is a reason not to do this. The slider moves a fraction of a mm. It's not going to fall of is it?

You'll never know with a S/E, unfortunately I don't think they were what they used to be - but the C905 is great though, except for the tiny battery and some obvious missing features like the possiblity to lock the keys with slider closed and no "loop" through settings in the camera, you have to go through ALL the settings to get to the last one where you set geotagging, stability etc.

The main reason I not to buy this phone is that there isn't shake control - I can't change the son't when I shake the phone and there isn't walkman button - the button which I use most times.

That's like saying I'm not going to buy a car because it doesn't have wings like the plane I'm used to flying!
Only walkman phones have these anyway!
