Sidekey Lock is bloody useless!

Phone owned for

It would be a great phone if weren't for the fact that the "Side Keypad Lock" feature doesn't work.  If one of the buttons gets mashed in your pocket, the message "Keypad Lock Hold Any Side Key To Disable" appears.  The button continues to get mashed in your pocket, so the next thing you know, your pocket is ringing and you've woken up somebody because it's midnight, plus they're out of state, so long-distance charges may apply.To reduce occurrences of this annoyance, I have to give the phone its own exclusive pocket, so everything else I want to carry in my pants has to be crammed into the other pocket.  I quit carrying my Swiss army knife because of this.  (I've lost count of how many times I've said, "I wish I had a pocket knife with me right now.")  And even then, the damn thing will do something unexpected when I sit down or get down on one knee to tie my shoe.The amazing thing is that if I try to intentionally make it happen to prove how hair-triggered this imbecilic feature is, it doesn't happen!  And yet, sometimes I'll slip the phone into my pocket, while I'm standing up, and the damn thing will immediately start dialing.
