Lock your Keypad, Pocket Dialer!

I see people on forums all the time asking how to quickly lock their keypad and I also see lots of responses on how to make sure the lock icon is on the main screen or setting one of the side convenience keys to the lock function, which I did for a short time until I realized what I'm about to tell you. I have a Curve 8330, and I know this works on some other models, but I'm not sure if it works on all or not. The mute button on top of the Curve puts the Berry into standby mode (locked and screen off to save power) until it is pressed again, unless of course a call comes in. Notifications still ring, but the screen stays out until taken out of standby. This is the simplest way to make sure that you are not dialing someone when you throw your Berry in your pocket or purse (this is sooooo annoying). It doesn't require any setup, it's a single keypress, and it leaves your convenience keys freed up for other things. Perfect! If you have your Berry set up for shortcuts from the main screen rather than home screen dialing, you can also use the "k" key to do the same thing.
