Hi Evonne
Yes, you can set the N86 to end a call on closing. I've got mine set like
that but I can't remember how it is done. I'll have a play around and see
what I can find out.
Cheers
Barry

hi Barry
mine also only announces when locked
probably because i have the slider set to answer when opening and locking
keypad on closing
wonder if there is a setting where ending a call when closing
but when i press the rubbery key a second time talks says network date
battery etcetera but certainly does not say keypad unlocked
