Using voice mail codes - <star star>

[bmarchet]

Why is it that the star key, within the dialer (almost any dialer, including ones on my old 6700), cycles between "*", "p", and "w", instead of allowing you to repeat the star key?

Nortel voice mail systems require a double-star input to reach your voice mail box functions.

The stock Sprint dialer and the Black Dialer both do this

Somebody had HAD to have a problem with this...is there a registry change that can be made?

I need to change my signature. I am using a Sprint HTC Touch Diamond.
