Here I don't think that's the best approach - I basically agree with the 
original posting: It doesn't make much sense to try to disable the FLASH 
key on any hardware phone (Grandstream or others) only because if the 
standard user hits that key he'll get himself into trouble where there is 
no way out... or is there a way to teach the GS Flash key to do anything 
useful?

Cheers, Philipp
