It seems RIM has separated the 2ems now. I know I use to press and hold A to lock my device and not that hot key just locks the screen.

It would be nice if they allowed you to combine the function something like “locking screen also locks device”

Well yeah but I find it annoying to use :p

It should just lock the complete device (with password and all) as soon as I press the lock button (top left corner). Can I do it with like an app or something?

Do you have a holster? You can have it lock as soon as it is holstered?

Can I set the lock to ‘direct’ or something? I disslike the 1 minute thing. Even with password AND hardware lock I keep pocketcalling peeps.

They should make that a user option whether you want them connected or seperate. I would like just one lock!

I preferred having the Keyboard Lock (top LHS button) do the Password Lock feature.
The Keyboard Lock appears to be slower to activate than the Password Lock.
Pity to use up a convenience key or home screen icon to re-provide a function that worked perfectly well.

Do you even know your on BBCool not BGR! This is a blog not a top news site. When BBCool post a new blog it shows at the top of the home page until the next story then it takes the place of the first story then the first takes the place of the second and so on.

I lock as well to protect company data. As soon as it goes back in my holster I know its locked.

Not sure why this is a front page news story especially since this was done in 5.0 and not 6.0. Must be a slow day at BGR.

Aww .. this explains why my information wasn't showing up on my Torch when I locked my phone using the top button. I have to setup a password lock for it to show. I usually don't put a password lock, but guess I will start now.

Yes I do, and I lock it by:

Got my 8520 under password lock as well. Should I lose it/somebody steals it, it should buy me the time to locate the phone.

I always password lock my BB. On the Torch, sometimes it takes 5-8 seconds for the device to respond after you put in the password to unlock. This is an OS bug that I'm hoping RIM will fix. I have the latest OS from ATT.
