    NOT on the 83xx models.

    The quickest way--turn on your Homescreen Shortcuts (by turning OFF Dial from Homescreen), and you can simply press 'K' to lock it.

    Details: Home Screen Shortcuts - BlackBerryFAQ

    Good luck.

    Well for one thing, standby and lock are not the same thing.

    Also, e_king, to set a password: options > security > general settings > enable password.

    Holstering is the quickest way, if you have the options enabled

    Also, download Autolock from geek and proud then it locks after a preset delay after the screen blanker.

    Personally I use the side convenience keys for something that do not have corresponding shortcuts on the homescreen (like the camera). Pressing the K to lock the device is easy.

    I had the left side key as camera until last week when i noticed after taking BB out of the pouch the camera was on & the battery had gone down by a noticeable amount. I must have clipped the key as i slid it into the pouch & it stayed on. I thought the sleep mode would have come on as its an official RIM case but maybe if the camera is on it doesn't switch off.

    Someone already mentioned it-- when activated, auto keyboard lock when holstered.

    I have the Seidio rubberized case and clip, as soon as its in the clip it locks without pressing any buttons.
