thanks, the BES does allow me to add third party apps. I did try the Stormslider lite. Also it creates another "layer" of protection say when the device goes above 20mins and locks itself. So then I have to put our standard IT policy based lock/password, then I have the stormslider portion I have to go through (if that was used before the IT policy locked the BB).

The Mute key doesnt work on the new Storms. Im not sure why they removed that function when almost every other blackberry has that option.

Reading/Researching more on this seems like the only way to put it to "sleep" is to get a holster case, which Im not fond of. Id rather have the phone in my pocket then on my hip/belt. This is why that mute button standby function was perfect for poeple like me, just force it in standby and put it in your pocket, no different then you putting it into the holster/pocket case.

RIM needs to put that function back on this phone.
