If you don't know, you can control the music player with the flip closed.

Mute Button: Play/Pause

Volume Buttons: If you hold the volume buttons either way, you can go back and skip tracks.

Volume Up: Next Track

Volume Down: Previous Track

Try it!

If this has been stated I'm sorry... Haven't been on in a while. Just FINALLY got out of training class and tried this by trial and error.

^good lookin' out I've been using mine "mounted" in the car/truck for MP3s/slacker.

yup i seen many places that claim to know phones and say that flip 8220 has no controls externally if closed.... nice work for those ppl that claim they know...

[DaPhoneking]

Yeah I know one of the things people said they didn't like about the flip was because of the lack of external music controls. And like I said before I found this out by trial and error. I thought I'd share this revelation to my Crackberry bretheren.

Score another one for our beloved BB 8220 !

[nismoskyz]

thank you! i've been wondering this for a while. i knew it happened by accident before but i couldnt figure out what i had done.

[evilp8ntballer7]

you can do the same when the phone is open, thats also nice to use when your in a different program

[X_Fire]

Woohoo, now that I know that, my wife will want one... she loves the external controls on her Samsung Beat but it seems like the 8820 won't disappoint her either - I've had one for less than 2 weeks and she already tried to steal my beloved Flip/Kickstart to play sudoku on it

Thanks for the tip, now I'm browsing the forums on what to do with the external display beside showing the clock

[evilp8ntballer7]

nothing that I know of and I wish you could do more

[jryker]

The Mute and Volume buttons have been the controls on all BlackBerry� devices that have a media player. This is not specific to flips.

You guys don't read the manual right?

[hubermania]

Yeah, wait 'til people figure out what the silver button on the headphone cord does.

They're not Easter eggs, folks. Every single button and icon is explained in the manual.
