Go to menu and then settings.
Then to Phone settings and finally to auto keypad lock
now you can change the time it takes to lock!

Just bought the Vegas from Orange for £19 a few days ago and am very pleased with it. OK, I've seen the shed loads of bad comments about this phone on various forums, but what do you expect for that price!!
For 19 quid you get a touchphone,camera,MP3 player,video,bluetooth etc..Seems good value to me.
Texting is a wee bit slower, but if you are not a heavy mobile phone user like myself, then that should be no problem.
Using the touchscreen can take time to get used to and although it has it's limitations, there is always the option to use the navigation button to find your way round the options/menus anyway.
As for the comments about the cr*p camera - well what do expect from 1.3 megapixels !! For heavens sake, it's not a 10 megapixel DLSR with full control over shutter and aperture speeds - ITS A PHONE!! If I want to take a decent picture then I use, (surprise, surprise), My DIGITAL CAMERA !!
Loads of people have said that they have problems with wallpaper, ringtones, phone locking, etc..., but I've had no issues with these and all the functions seem to work fine.
The instruction manual is about as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike, but after spending a few minutes working your way round the menus and options yourself, and you should be familiar with all the phones's capabilities and how it all hangs together.
Conclusion - for the price, a good little phone for the light/medium mobile user. If you spend most of your time glued to your mobile and do loads of texting etc.. then you'll have to spend a lot more than £19.

Meanwhile on your phone (obviously) switch on your bluetooth and recieve in the normal way, as you would from anouther phone.

to listen to music-with memery card:

press up on the home page and it should pop up with a demo piece of music. press down and it should go into a list with only 1 piece of music in it called demo. press the left top butten and press delete and delete it. press the top left buttn again and click add,click memory card and look in the files untill you find your music you put in it. once found it click the top right button (which goes back) and go to the file again but dint go in it, click the top left button and click add. this will add the whole file of music you have added to your memory card. click the bottem right button, now click up and it will cum up with a list of your music, if it comes up playing a pice of music click down to go into the list.

sometimes when you go on your music you might have to do the whole proces again! but ohh well :)

hope i could help :) xx
