So I moved from Smartphone to PPC, and here's my main problem. On the smartphone, you lock the keys by holding down the red "hang up" button. Woohoo!
On the PPC, you lock the keys by going to the home screen, then finding the tiny line that says "lock keypad" - which half the time I have to scroll for. Then you try to hit that with your fingernail, hit your calendar instead, then get the stylus out and have another go. Then after all that, you have to press the "off" button. I have to do this because the "off" button has a habit of pressing itself in my pocket and I need a backup keylock.
Call me a simple soul, but what I'd like to do is press the "off" button and have the keys lock _and_ the device switch into standby. Then when I want to use it again I'd like to press the "off" button and then, say, the red button, or the green one or something. I don't want to have to muddle around trying to press some area on the screen, which seems to me to be a daft idea.
Is this too much to ask? I can't be the only person doing this.
