hi stephen.
thankyou for your reply to my post.
setting up the keys is what the problem is here.
i went through every key and assigned it to something that would be useful
without using the menu.
unfortunately i don't have any key assigned to menu anymore and hence i cant
get into the phone anymore.
as it is, this has made my mind up to upgrade the firmware in the phone.
i will have a clean slate after it is done and talks reinstalled.
regards.

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.

hello list.
ok i had my home screen set as business where i could use the up and down
arrow keys to go between the various options of wlan, calender, e mail and
messaging.
i could use the left and right keys to go through various shortcuts.
i have the top left key assigned to menu and the top right to contacts.
my problem is this:
i have switched the home screen from business to personal i think it was and
that has totally changed the way the buttons work on the home screen when i
press any of the navigation keys they open applications instead of letting
me arrow through predefined ones and more importantly i have no way of
accessing the menu anymore.
the top left button gives me messaging.
can anyone help me how to get the homescreen back to business so the phones
works the way it did?
all help is greatly appreciated.
stephen faill
