    I lock my phone and put it in my pocket. The trackball keeps unlocking the phone when I hit it twice while in my pocket. In the last week, after I locked the phone and put it in my pocket, the phone has called 911 3 times, and sent over 100 repeat txt msg'es. What can I do, I enjoy the phone, but this is obviously a problem that I can't live with.

    Call US Cellular and get a new one, I'm thinking no matter how many batt pulls you do is gonna correct the issue, and calling 911 without an explanation is a huge problem, US cellular should be prompt to send you a new device.

    its not their fault, maybe i didnt make myself clear. When it is in my pocket locked. The roller gets bumped multiple times, and it is causing this to happen. I just did some more reading and maybe the standby mode is better than the lock function. Unless someone has any better ideas.

    Set a password that way is there no way it will unlock. Don't you have to press the * Call button though?

    Thats interesting. Whenever I have my phone unlocked, if I hit a button, it'll say its locked and pop up the 'Unlock', 'Emergency Call', 'Cancel' menu. When I click on 'Unlock' it then pops up another window saying to presse * - dial button to unlock. Is this just a Verizon OS feature? I always though it was odd that pressing 'Unlock' wouldn't just unlock the phone?

    If you set up a password you will have to enter that password before your bb will unlocked. Without a password it going to tell you to press * then dial button. It's not a Verizon feature, it's a BB feature.

    Standby will work for you while its in your pocket if you're not wanting to get a holster.
