VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

do you have one, too? i'm stumped:

if you could tell me how to optimize the browser for viewing the vo-bb and other sites, and how to lock the keyboard, i'd be most appreciative.

to lock the keyboard there is an icon that looks like a pad lock you can click on, or just stick it back in the sleeve and it should lock.

If you put it back in it's case it will lock the keyboard.

When I used to have one (I had the 8830), I assigned the button on the side to lock the keyboard. Much easier rather than scrolling around looking for that lock icon. I think it's defaulted to activate voice dialing, but you should be able to reassign it to a different task from the settings menu.

For that... not sure. If you're using the BB web browser there might not be anything you can do to optimize the view. Maybe try a different browser?

Sorry I can't help ya more.
