i must be nuts bc I have an 810 and can't find a slider lock,button. I've,got the rear battery cover lock and every other button's functionality figured out. where is the slide lock on a 810?

On the upper side on the right (opposite the full screen button).

Confusion may result from the fact that it "locks" the screen and the other buttons, but it doesn't "lock" itself - you slide it to the left, and it comes back to its original position.

On the top and on the right is the lock switch. --edit-- Bump fpp :)

Also note that with this switch set to locked, when you slide open the keyboard the lock option is temporarily overridden and the device is activated but as soon as you close the keyboard it returns to the locked state. Quite a neat feature :rolleyes:

The only problem with this particular lock switch is it's fiddly to operate, I actually dropped my N810 today whilst operating this particular switch. (Damaging/cracking the case and stand on one corner slightly)

Really do think we need some form of hand strap on the N810 whilst on the move to prevent dropping when opening and closing keyboard and operating tiny switches with big fingers.

sorry, i now get the key-screen lock functionality, I was asking if there was some sort of button that physically locked the keyboard from sliding down (or screen from sliding up depending on your pov :)

Don't think so...

Off Topic, but someone posted on another thread...

Depending on the type, you can slip something though the Stylus sylo (with the stylus taken out) and it works quite well. Stylus still goes back in ok though just a smidge out compared to before.

Thread with pics is actually :

I intend to try it.

Hope that's useful.
