I have a new 8525. When you slide out the keyboard it is amazing to me that it doesn't turn on the unit. Is there a hack for this? Thanks Bill

You have to push 1 button. Push it. Not hard.

Not hard, but sometimes I am unsure if I hit the correct button, and hit it hard enough. Sometimes there can be a delay, too. So, I hit the button... nothing... hit it again... watch it glow and then dark!
Argh!

I, for a second, would LOVE a hack to have it turn on when opened.

That would be pretty cool... but i can live without it....
Would be great for texting..

And I dont think its possible. The only thing that happens when it's opened is a small magnet is activated. I bet that the electrical current to that magnet is not even on while the phone is off/sleep. would be cool tho

Might to cool but it is just one button which is pretty easy.

Actually, it is not pretty easy on the 8525. When the KB slides open it is hard to hit the power button.
