    Hi - I have a Nokia N95.

    I want to use an additional level of security to lock the keypad - does anybody know if it has a setting whereby a PIN (say 4 digits) would have to be entered to unlock the keypad?

    Thanks in advance!

    If you press the power button on the phone once, a new menu should come. There should be an option to "lock Phone" which will then require you to enter the lock code to unlock the phone. The lock code is 12345 by default but you can change this in the phones settings.

    Phone autolock period—To avoid unauthorised use, you
    can set a time-out after which the device automatically
    locks. A locked device cannot be used until the correct lock
    code is entered. To turn off the autolock period, select
    None.

    Thanks for that. I did it but it appears to be a "1 off" type keypad lock. What I want is that everytime I slide the screen up to reveal the keypad that a pin is requested before a number can be dialled / the menu can be accessed.

    Is this possible?
