Re: How to change pound sign (#) speed dial on Blackberry 8700

["Robert Green" <ROBERT_GREEN1963@xxxxxxxxx>]

I believe the new Blackberry allows the use of only LETTER keys to store
speed dials.  This is a big step up from non-mnemonic numbers and it gives
you 26 keys to assign instead of 10.  But it also means that when you press
# you're really pressing the speedial letter Q that comprises the bottom
half of the dual purpose key.  Look for the Q speedial on the list and that
should be the speed dial string that's dialing your voice mail.  See the
keyboard layout below.  You should be able to delete or edit the string from
there.
