Yes, but i have the Mytouch and i've dialed crazy amount of people because any contact with skin activates it. I've woke up at times and seen myself call 2 people at night somehow so this just isn't a resistive issue. Also if you think about it if you take your bed sheet, wrap your bed sheet over your finger, and play with a capacitive screen it will still work. What i'm getting at is that the inner layer of your pocket is thin equivalent to a sheet so if your legs is rubbing against the screen you can activate functions on your phone also. Its a hit or miss but still very capable of calling someone believe me.
