Question
Hey Debin,
I have a question about my phone, I wanted to know to lock my applications. What i mean by this is, how can i put a password lock on just certain applcations, like messaging and picture. Thanks for time, Ines.

Answer
You cannot put a lock onto specific applications. You can lock the device, but that is it. One programs such as Password Protector can actually be locked, everything else cannot be locked, I'm afraid. I would suggest locking your BlackBerry, but setting it such that you can still dial when it's locked. This will allow others to use your device as a phone, but not be able to get into anything else. The BlackBerry has the ability to do this. I hope this helps. Thanks. DebiN
