My home screen will not unlock. I turn the phone every which way but it just won't unlock. I have to do a battery pull to use my device. I searched the forum & Google without any luck. I would appreciate your help.

did you press the unlock button

On the very top of your phone (not the screen but the phone itself) look closely at it. There is a little lock icon on the left. Those are buttons, even though they don't look like it. Push that in and the phone will unlock.

Several people I know have already missed the lock button. I lock the device and nobody knows how to unlock it lol.

Son of a biscuit. I kept trying to push the unlock icon on the screen. Thanks for helping me with minimal embarassment.

Thanks so much for saying the unlock button is on the phone and not on the screen! I wasted so much time trying to figure it out because I had a silicone case on it and didn't even see it.

I'm not bashing anyone here, but remember, FULL MANUALS are available from RIM's site..... Goes over ALL of the controls..... Just saying, it could save people alot of time......

ah easy mistake, i kept pressing the unlock button on the screen before i noticed...i thought it was a smudge first till i look closely.

Lol I had this problem too for a few days after I got my Storm, eventually I caved and read the manual

They should really put in a little note in the box telling you about the two buttons on the top of the phone haha
