Record button on E61 - can it be disabled?

Every other time I pick up my phone, I manage to press the voice key on the side which starts the recorder - net result is a bunch of useless recordings on my phone. Is there any way to disable this button or change its function?

thanks

  1. It is not possible to disable the record-button im afraid. Luckily I have only hit that button by mistake twice since I got my E61, and never when I had E60.

  2. i hit that button 20x since i got the E61 on Wednesday….. it is a design problem. ….. you are almost certain to hit it if you take it out from the E61 leather case (belt placement) sold by Nokia!

  3. How about a small drop of good glue? ;-) If you do not use the feature, disable it (permanently). Or dig the button out…

  4. Or use AutoLock. A handy free app, that’ll lock your phones keyboard after some time (user adjustable). I use it as well. Works fine with me.

  6. DON’T DIG OUT OR GLUE THE BUTTON!

    Remember that it also functions to activate the voice dialing feature and if you’re glued, you’re screwed…

  8. Yep, me too. Bought it yesterday and have already made about 20 recordings of nothingness. :-( My Treo 650 had 3rd party apps that could reassign / disable hardware buttons, surely something similar must exist for Symbian?

  10. Could we ever get an application that can remap the Record Botton and the E-mail Botton. I would really, really pay for that
