Yes you aren't pressing the Menu button, you are pressing SoftKey1 and or Softkey2. That is the top Left and Right.
It sounds like you having done any configuring of the phone at all. Another words; you never went into the setting to change how the phone behave and set it to your liking. Anyway in saying that; There are two buttons to either side of the Arrow pad. There are two to the left of the left arrow and two to the right of the Right arrow. I mean they are beside the arrow pad and not towards the sides of the phone. One of these 4 buttons is the Physical Menu button, One is the Messaging button, One is the contacts button and I think the last one is the calendar button. These buttons can be changed to point to what ever you want in the Settings of the phone. These buttons are flat. Then on the outside edge of the phone you have SoftKey1 and below it the call button on the left. Then on the Right edge you have SoftKey2 and below it the End-call. Note! The SoftKey1 buttons is defaulted to Menu but this isn't the same thing as the physical menu button. The Physical menu button I think is to the left of the Left arrow and it the top of the two buttons. So please Steve take the time and go through the settings of the phone and set it to your liking as far as the softkeys and shortcuts etc... You will then probably be much more happy with the phone and how it works for you. Signed: Stephen Giggar Skype: dr-phone. Hardware eventually fails, software eventually works.
