good morning..... your mission if you decide to accept it... lol.... is to let me know if any of you has had the time to delve into this candy bar's software to modify the standard shortcuts so at least one shortcut can be pointed to any menu point you wish. similar to motorola's user programming....

anyone...??? anyone...???

Menu > Settings and Tools > 5. Phone Settings > 2. Shortcut Key,
You can set all 4 shortcut keys on the directional keypad. At least, on the 8300...

appreciate the quick response and what you say is a 'given'. i'm looking for a 'gimme'. ALL the shortcuts are 'pre-ordained by LG & Verizon. I am looking to modify at least one of the four ( NEWS ) to a point that is NOT on their list of choices.......

mission probable....???

Now that I can't do icon_wink.gif I can do some research, though. Whither do you want the shortcut key to direct you?

would luv to see the shortcut go into NAM select showing the screen:
1. NAM 1
2. NAM 2

which is Settings & Tools, -#5(Phone Settings) # 7(NAM Select)

incredible wish would be to be able to point one position (North Preferable) to point anywhere and hit 'OK' to set it.

tis my wish, oh genii........ icon_angel.gif

have since done a 'walkabout' on this unit with BITPIM and can not see where i can access the firmware, but have added to my 'Wish List'.....

a. at least one user identifiable 'OK' key shortcut
b. able to change the alpha-numric 'NAM 1/2' to any title,
I.E.
1. ATLANTA,
2. NEW YORK

c. be able to modify the #1 key from VoiceMail to another speed dial...( other providers(Verizon did too) have sometimes made that key for 911, but was NOT made part of the firmware.)

anyone.??? anyone...???
