RECEIVE A CALL = OPEN THE SLIDE

END A CALL = CLOSE THE SLIDE.... DUH!!! WHY DOESN'T THIS WORK???

IS THERE ANY SOFTWARE OUT THERE TO SOLVE THIS?

[keffa]

This doesn't happen because Nokia have disabled the sliders facility to terminate the call. I have been advised in the past that the N80 also did this when it was first released and it was not until a few firmware updates later that this ability was added. Perhaps Nokia diable this on new slider phones in case people report problems with the slide action.

Some of us who like you find this annoying are all hoping that a future firmware update will give us the option to make the slider action work in this fashion if we wish.

I've been told by my dealer that I need to bring my phone in once a month for the next 3 or 4 months to ensure all firmware updates. So what you've told me makes sense.

Many thanks.

There are not going to be new firmware updates released every month for your phone.

Also, you don't have to bring it in to anywhere, if you want such an update when available, if you use Nokia Software Updater to update it yourself:

P.S. I like the fact that the call doesn't end when I close the slide. This way I can close the slide and put the phone in my pocket and keep talking. It is not that hard to press the red end/hangup key when I want to end a call. And sometimes also the other party hangs up and then I don't need to do anything.

I prefer it not to hang up when I close it. I often use it with my bluetooth headset... and the voice dialing is pants! This means I have to open the phone and dial the number - and can put it back in my pocket closed without hanging up!

I think an option would be a good idea though

i personally find the slide very annoying. i overcame this by superglueing it the first day i got it. it works a charm. i never ring people anyway.

is it too hard for you to press a button ? geesh what`s wrong with you people ...

You superglued your phone!!??

There's some lateral thinking for you...

[popy]

in the phone there are 2 buttons

a green button the accept the call and a red button the end the call. no need to open/close the slide to do that

[kevineu]

I suppose everyone or rather most people want to have the option of choosing how the slider works; like in the 6280.

[kazicameron]

once youve had your phone a couple of months i think youl be glad the slide doesnt end the call, as my phone is only 3 weeks old and the slide is getting loose already

[icejam]

does anyone know how to force the phone only to accept call by pressing the green button but not sliding the phone up? I always accidentally cut someone off by I tried to slide and pickup the call....
