    Yeah it happended to me twice within several weeks and it was also in my jean's pocket. I believe it is due to the power button is easily to be pressed down. Only way I can do is I have to slip in the phone with top end of the phone staying up. Sorry to say I haven't seen a single phone with the function you require. I am ex-iPhone user, know the hardware difference between these two, at here the power button is a good example. But I still love my Passport very much since I dropped iPhone with no regrets. Cheers!

    Just to clarify, you mean it opens up when you put it in your pocket?

    Open up? Yes, in the pocket the phone will turn on by itself.

    B4 put in the pocket, I will lock the phone by pressing and holding alphabet "K". So like this, even power button is accidentally pressed and it won't be right in the "usable" mood because password is required (unless no password set). The issue here is due to the not so good power button mechanism design or my unit has defects. Wish BB will improve when next one comes up.

    Can you teach me how to do the setup? I have set both device password and picture password, and after I lock the device, it doesn't require any password if I want to power off.
