Strangely, you would have thought Sammy would have learned from the Instinct.....same issue. ANd they did end up making the buttons flash as a notification thru an update. Coming from the Instinct, you just get in the habit of checking the screen everytime you leave your phone unattended. I know it sounds crazy, but you do. And Bob, I will admit I was being somewhat critical. These phones ARE different and the first thing people want to do when they try something that is different is lash out(for lack of a better phrase) when something is not how it "used to be".....ie your Blackberry experience. I know I did. I was just preaching patience and determination. Most of the "askers" on this thread had VERY few posts and most of the "answerers" had much more. I'm just saying we went through the same transitional phase and went thru those same frustrated emotions(again for lack of a better word). I agree, somebody would do well to make an app for that. They are likely afraid the next update will cancel it out.
