Is there a way to make screen go blank with push of a button?

If you have "Dialing from Homescreen" disabled then pushing the letter K should lock the device and dim your screen in about 5 seconds.

Ok I was hoping there was something a little more immediate w/o having to lock phone.

[rambo47]

Nah, nothing I've seen. On the Treo phone you can just push the red "end call" button and turn the screen off. Good to avoid prying eyes.

i have the left convenience key set to LOCK KEYBOARD.

so if i need to hide sensitive info or i see someone trying to look, i can lock immediately.

I hear that Palm has a new phone coming out soon... or you can have the security of a BlackBerry mobile device.

i thought it was kinda ugly & looks like a lot of hype

Then who cares about the features?

[cortiz179]

i wouldnt go that far.

[NJBlackBerry]

No, I could not care less what they have on a new Palm. It can fly around the room for all I care. Palm Is Dead. Simple as that. So if it has a single touch key to blank the screen, so what?

[cortiz179]

ya i feel the same way, but i do have a soft spot for them. my 1st PDA

I have a box of them somewhere. They got complacent and missed the market.

You can do this with dial from home screen on...just long-press a and it'll lock the keyboard.
