How do you suggest to fix this issue?
- "Clamshell" flip-phone.
- A proper physical switch for lock/unlock. The one on the Toshiba
Gigabeat F (admittedly a music player, not a phone) works flawlessly.
iPhone has a lock switch. It's on the top. You push it, and the phone is
locked. I'm pretty sure almost all android phones have this feature as
well.
I never ever ever accidentally call someone when the phone is in my
pocket, because it gets locked when I'm done with it. In fact, I never
accidentally do *anything* on my iPhone. Never happened with my
flip-phone either, but certainly the capacitive touch screen has not
reintroduced that problem for those who are willing to learn how to use
them.
These rants are absolutely hilarious. It's like saying you hate
calculators because you can't slide the buttons like on your abacus.
