Is anyone else annoyed that to unlock your keyboard you have to choose "unlock" and then press "*, Talk"? My 7130 was never that tedious nor was my 8703. Just annoys me when i only have 1 hand free.

You don't have to go to unlock first. All you have to do is press * Talk from the locked screen.

thanks.

I would not mind if they allowed the convenience key to unlock it, or at least bring me to a password request if I am securing the device.

i would not mind there being a one or two step process to unlock the device with the buttons not being on the left side of the device.
