Hi Jeff In answer to your first question, it does automatically lock after so many seconds, and you would be advised to leave it that way. If you don't, you could put it in your pocket and find you've inadvertently pressed something that will cause the phone to dial or open an app you didn't want, causing you further confusion. Until you get used to everything, I would leave well alone. As regards your second question, I am not sure what you are doing, but the top left key is the options button. If you press it by mistake, just go to the corresponding key on the right-hand side of the C5 and hopefully cancel the action. When you are at the main window of the phone, pressing the top left key generally takes you into messaging by default, where your inbox, outbox, sent items, drafts and mailbox folders are contained. I think this is where you are going by mistake.

Loving C5 and talks and slowly learning. I have two questions: 1. I can now thanks to you lot unlock the keypad. but why does it keep locking? Is there a setting I can alter, and how do I get there? 2. Also am I being heavy handed or something? when ever I hit the top left key it takes me into the texting options, and I get lost there.
