Please see Bug Report 5982.

Sadly, Nokia is not really fast with Bug fixing...

theres a known problem with cases that incorporate magnet, so if yours does, getting another case is the answer.

edit:

actually the standard search totally sucks here, go for power search to get useful results! ;)

I think he has a different problem. He touches the unlocked screen.

There is a simple app that locks the screen right after its been unlocked by the incoming call. Its called "call-locker" in app manager and its in Extras Devel.

Please double check if Extras Devel is correctly added ( http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras#Extras-devel ) and activated. Then launch the app manager and choose download->all and then type "lock" that worked for me. If this still doesn't work: Download and install rootsh with the app manager and afterwards open x terminal from main menu and
type: "sudo gainroot" then press enter
type: "apt-get install call-locker" then press enter again
type: "Y" and press enter again

Don't type the quotation marks in though!
