There is a lock!

Digging around the web on some Xperia forums, I did find out there is a lock option! But it’s manual. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, my old Nokia had something like that too, *7 to lock and unlock. I had all but forgotten that such a thing existed. It wasn’t obvious to me, but on the Xperia, on the end call button is a key. Holding it down locks the screen. To unlock, a little option appears above the left select button, or clicking on the unlock link at the lower left will bring up a screen which has a button to unlock. It’s not all that intuitive, but it works. I guess I’m now jaded by how smooth the wakeup unlock is on my iPod Touch.
