Although I have a belt case I use most of the time, sometimes it's more
convenient to just drop the Treo in my shirt pocket after a call.
There's nothing in the pocket to press the center button -- my shirt
pocket contains a couple of pens, and I drop the Treo in with its screen
facing me -- but it doesn't take much to tap a screen button, and since
TakePhone is set to load the SpeedDial screen after a call, one of those
buttons is what gets tapped.
I don't want the device to turn off immediately or on super-short time
because it's a bother to have to unlock it repeatedly when I've stopped
to think what to write or tap next.
Except at the end of a phone call. When I end a call and drop the Treo
in my pocket, I don't want it making calls to, for instance, the local
911 center, the non-emergency number for which is, because of my work,
one of the SpeedDials on the first page.
Otherwise, Kaplan is exactly correct -- dropping the thing in a pocket
that contains anything that can press against the center button is
likely to unlock the keyguard and cause all manner of unintended havoc.
What I'm hoping is the TakePhone keyguard option will return to
SpeedDial with the keyguard activated. A couple of quick tests seem to
indicate that will work without bothering the longer Treo/Butler shutoff
time in effect for other applications.
