There is a roundabout way of achieving this.

No. I tried 10 times and it continued to prompt for a code the 11th time.

No. If you choose to Exit the code-entry, you get a prompt to switch off the device. If the device is turned on, the code is prompted for.

Is there a way to create defaults for contacts? Or at least move one contact field up in a contacts field. I transferred all my contacts from N95 and find it quite annoying that when I want to call my wife her main mobile number is like number 3 down the list.

Please feel free to add to it/correct it, in the spirit of wiki
Just want to again plug the wiki concept for newbs. A wiki doc is perfectly suited to this topic. Yes, it's easier to pop off a forum post. But if everyone does only that, then you get long forum threads and people complaining about wading through them. But a wiki doc that reflects the consensus of the community is a one-stop shop! So please do feel free to edit wiki docs!

People may have already known this one. When in a conversation (sms etc) window - swipe in from the left to get the cursor and use to highlight etc.
