To get to the lock app section, all you should need to do is....
Menu>Settings>Security>Lock Application>enter password>Scroll down to
ringstyles and switch to locked. I also do this for my web browser to
prevent accidentally turning it on, or to prevent it from being used if I
should lose my cell and not realize it for a bit.

====================================
1) There are quite a few, from QuickTime pro to mpegable to edit parts out
and make your own. As for 3gp to wmv or avi, google will be your best
friend
I Googled like crazy - found some stuff - downloaded "Xilisoft 3GP Video
Converter", that seemed to show up most - doesn't work! Bummer. I'll
probably buy from QuickTime - a company with credibility.
====================================
2)set your ringstyle with a lock, under security settings. That way you
can't change them without entering your password.
I can't find how to just lock the ringstyle. I looked thru the Cingular
V551 instructions at
http://tutorials.cingular.com/tutorial/web_tutorials/tu... .
The instruction book that came with the phone is less helpful. Any
suggestions?
====================================
3) People use bt to get their pocketpc online etc, I doubt Cingular will let
you use it as a dialup modem though. Before you start playing with the net,
you may want to see Cingular's options and rates on their website. You may
also hear alot about the V551 and the net because it has Edge, which is
faster then gprs.
I'd like to know more about what "Edge" is.
====================================
I don't mean to be rude really, but a
www.google.ca search or even a visit
to howardforums, which would have turned up in your google search, would
have answered each and every Q you asked.
As I said above, I Googled a lot.
