I tried a magnet on the back of a Motorola Droid, it woke that up as well
YYYYyyep! A great exploit, if you ever find one and it's locked. Just touch it to a magnet and it'll go into multimedia base mode or car mode and VOILA! You have access to the phone. Seems like a big flaw to me. I've got 2.0.1 but hopefully they will have fixed that in 2.1.
