SAMSUNG i600 Device Lock
I use both the US Samsung BJ & the Samsung i600. Love them !
Both the phones are great to throw into the back pocket of your jeans / pants & sit on them for hours without any problems (games, long drives etc). They're small, sleek, unbreakable (by sitting on them, I mean) & when I take them out of my back pocket, I get a lot of ooohs & aaahs from folks around, who're pleasantly surprised that it can fit there so discreetly. I use my bluetooth headset for taking calls.
The key difference I'm noticing is that the US BJ has a device lock which when activated, completely disables ALL the QWERTY keyboard AND the side keys, until you tap the power button again (kinda like a notebook's sleep mode). Very Very useful especially when ... you are sitting on your phone during the game or on long drives :lol:
On the i600, I can't seem to find that option, both key lock & device lock the phone, but don't switch off the keyboard or the side keys & though it does not unlock the phone / device, the display comes on & possibly drains the battery. I'm also conscious that it could accidentally unlock & dial someone on my contacts, while I'm just sitting on it  ops:
Therefore, on the i600 :-
Key lock, forces me to press the 'unlock' softkey & then press '*' to unlock.
Device lock, forces me to press the 'unlock' softkey & then type my password to unlock.
Any workarounds or suggestions on how to get TOTAL device lock on the i600, just like the BJ ?
