BlackBerry Bold - BlackBerry 9000 Series Smartphone -

[#1]

Hello,

I have some different Blackberrys in use, mostly BB 8310 and 8800. Both of those models have the option press-button to send them to standby-modus. However, new Blackberry Bold seems not to have this option.  Just to bee clear, I know that putting it in to Holster it works, but there are people who do not want to use Holster at all.  Does anybody know if by BB Bold the standby-modus option exists at all?  Thanks,

If you just want to put it into standby, simply hold the Mute button (right on the top of the phone). =)

I don't understand this response.  When I click on the button on the top of the BlackBerry as was described previously that must mutes a call when I am on that call.  How does it show that it's in "Standby-modus" mode?  What should I look for?

Press it when you are not on a call and it will go to stand by mode.

What do I do if entering standby in this manner no longer works?

In my case it was necessary(!) to have synchronisation completed. Then it worked, just keeping Stand-by button pressed for few 3 to 5 Seconds. Then the Device takes another 10 Seconds to go to stand-by. To leave stand-by you have to press the same button again.

The screen will slowly go black when it's entering stand by mode.  No keys will work until you press the mute button again.
