You have to have Active Standby Turned off in order to achieve the short-cut keys. Now if you are someone who likes cycling through the icons on your standby screen by arrowing across, up or down them, then this hotkey function will not be for you. I like assigning my keys, e.g. up arrow is for bRead, left arrow is for File Manager, right arrow for Messaging and then I can cycle down through inbox, e-mail accounts, sent, drafts, etc. I have the middle selection key set for Quick Office so I can choose to make a new word file. That hoefully will give you some sort of idea.

I've went into the settings and the only option for messaging is main view, new message, new multi media message and new email.

I am not familiar with the phone but whenever I receive a new text message, I am alerted to this by a sound (as I expect you are too) and then I press key 1 and am directly in the message. Now you say that you can go to your Inbox and read the message. I'd have thought that was quick too. Well again I have one of my arrow keys set up as a hot key which immediately takes me t my messages, all messages Inbox and my e-mail boxes too as I regularly read e-mails on my phone, especially while my guide dog Neela is running around the park!!!
