LOCK or turn the screen off?
The side button doesn't lock the device.

Power button works with the screen off
Camera button doesn't do anything when the screen is off. I usually just slide the lens cover open and the camera app starts up when I have the screen off.
Why are you guys so surprised about this? Did you not RTFM? Did you not play with your devices and set them up?

Well, so it's the same thing to lock the device using the power button, or to turn off the screen right? The camera slide won't open itself by inadvertance in your pocket

Hi guys.
Don't know if this subject has been discussed before..
Is there an autolock function, so when you "close" the Nokia N900, it will lock itself, without having to slide the button on the side of the device?

Thus I'd like to have such app myself too, and I think I can make up an app for it later this week. Lets see...

Obviously the app can and likely will have some logic when locking, like being on desktop its ok and when having fullscreen app open then not ok etc.
A lot of apps and settings are just to satisfy people with different tastes and thats just the receipe for satisfied users: not having to stick to some settings or functionality set by someone else. If something looks stupid to you it might be a killer app for some else and vice versa. Nobody forces you to install anything you don't like

Maybe in this case its an overkill, maybe not. If one of us spends a lot of time for this, but can save little time (and nerves) for a lot of people, its a victory and worth doing...
