Can application access outer buttons on Nokia 9000?



Q. Can users access my application using the outside keypad (i.e., 
   the phone lid is closed so the PDA keyboard is not accessible)?

   In other words, how can my application monitor the outside keypad?

A. This is not possible because the phone is not designed in such a
   way to allow access to both inside and outside keypads.

   Furthermore, when the lid is closed, the PDA side of the Nokia
   9000 goes into sleep (suspend) mode. Because of this, your
   application wouldn't be able to monitor the outside keypad anyway.
