    I've poked around here as well as other forums and Google. No joy finding out if there's a BB function or add-on that will temporarily turn the numeric keypad into a phone keypad, or at least a display that shows which letters are associated with each number. Am I the only one who occasionally needs to spell names when calling a corporate number without knowing the extension?

    Hmmm� Not sure I get what you"re saying. I just want to spell a name using the keypad. Like "jen" would be 536 on a telephone keypad. Pressing ALT and a letter just types the alternate character for that letter.

    For example....toy type 1-800-SLEEPYS

    you type 1-800, then hold alt and type "sleepys" and it will automatically dial the appropriate numbers (1-9)

    you press alt and the actual letter not the number that represents the letter on a regular keypad

    If you hold the alt and the shift key, it will set the number lock and the number pad will just punch numbers. then hit the shift hey to turn it back off when done

    How to dial numbers like 1-800-BEST-BUY - It's in the tips and how to section of the forums. I'd post the link but I'm on WAP and don't know how.

    Sorry I wasn't more detailed - I posted my response as I was getting ready to wash dye out of my hair. Which, by the way, turned my hair purple.
