Whenever I press 1, it brings up a browser. Anyone know how to remove the shortcut that the number 1 is associated with? Because I wanted to press 1 to dial voicemail.

Thanks!

Go to phone, then options, then general options and make sure that 'dial from home screen' is set to yes

It must be set to no because it is using W for wap

Make sure you just lightly press (tap) the 1/w for Voice Mail. Pressing and holding it will bring up the WAP Browser.

Uh...don't you mean the other way around?

Lightly press for Wap browser...hold for VM...

Oops - you are absolutely right. Press lightly for the shortcut (B/Browser; W/Wap; A/Address Book)

Press and hold for Speed Dial.

Thanks for the correction.

LOL. You must have had a nice long night last night to make this mistake.

Nah - it was a simple, honest mistake.
No nice, long nights for me. Too old for that :-(

Thank you very much for the explanation. I never noticed this long vs short press. Now it works.

Is there a way to edit/change it so that the short press of 1/w brings up the BB internet browser rather than carrier browser? For some reason, my carrier browser opens up a mess file structure and I don't know how to change that.

Sorry. Found it. I was able to change that home page from Option.
