Could someone please correct/merge the E-mail client and Conversations section, if they are the same?
Please feel free to add to it/correct it, in the spirit of wiki :)

Awesome thanks, will definitely try it when I get my phone

Settings > display > blacklight time out... set to 30 second, 1 minute etc. You probably currently have 10 seconds.

I think this wiki could be slightly enhanced by also showing which retailer (Amazon, eBay, etc.) the seller is located. Maybe make the retailer a category and the sellers items can be subcategories under the retailers.

Shift + backpace takes you to the previous page you were browsing in case you havent noticed.

will post more as I find out, its just my first day with this phone :-)

Anyway of going back a page with the KB closed? Tried gestures, but it brings up the history, which is an obtuse process from simply going back to the previous page.

Is there a way to create a short cut to a specific folder on the desktop? The short cuts listed are to items like amazon, AP news. There is one for file manager but none to specific folders. That would be very useful to have and make the device much more computer like.

yeah, use the arrow to the right of the address bar, when you click it, it will display your previous pages.

I think he means a simple "go back" button, not the left arrow (history).

Re: N900 Tips & Tricks
 
have a question about the security lock of the device,

if we set a numeric lock and in case its tried wrong several times, does the device lock out completely ? or any automatic reset ?

is there a way to unlock after max attemps ?
didnt want to try it without knowing ;)
