ALSO, and more importantly I think, is that the "Lock" doesn't stop the phone from being shut down by holding down the power (end) key. What good is a lock that stops the phone ringing and also lets it be accidentally shut down???]]>Sep 18th 2006 12:04PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/17/blackberry-pearl-wont-ring-in-your-pocket/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/17/blackberry-pearl-wont-ring-in-your-pocket/Sep 18th 2006 2:50PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/17/blackberry-pearl-wont-ring-in-your-pocket/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/17/blackberry-pearl-wont-ring-in-your-pocket/Oct 22nd 2006 10:35PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/17/blackberry-pearl-wont-ring-in-your-pocket/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/17/blackberry-pearl-wont-ring-in-your-pocket/
I had trouble installing the firmware, but it eventually worked.

However, there are still a few things I don't understand -- why isn't there an automatic keyboard lock (my pocket keeps dialing poeple); and why doesn't the alarm automatically snooze (you have to physically choose one of the two options or it just waits in limbo forever).

Nokia doesn't have these problems....

is audio based.
I can only communicate via the speakerphone or ear piece.
I know also that the caller at the other end of the line can hear me regardless
of whether the speaker phone is engaged or not.
Anyone? ]]>Apr 3rd 2007 11:46AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/17/blackberry-pearl-wont-ring-in-your-pocket/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/17/blackberry-pearl-wont-ring-in-your-pocket/Apr 23rd 2007 7:24PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/17/blackberry-pearl-wont-ring-in-your-pocket/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/17/blackberry-pearl-wont-ring-in-your-pocket/Oct 3rd 2007 2:52AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/17/blackberry-pearl-wont-ring-in-your-pocket/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/17/blackberry-pearl-wont-ring-in-your-pocket/Dec 7th 2007 5:30PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/17/blackberry-pearl-wont-ring-in-your-pocket/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/17/blackberry-pearl-wont-ring-in-your-pocket/Dec 24th 2007 3:01PM
