Hi,Personally I will only buy a flip phone or at least one with a slide-away cover. Otherwise the buttons accidentally get pushed and you make a call without meaning to. There is a name for that but I can't recall - a butt call or something because you sit on the phone and it dials. One time I had a college class and the professor told a story about a student who called him from a cell phone to ask a question about class. Later the student's phone accidentally redialed the prof and the prof heard the student in the middle or buying a bag of drugs from someone. I am not exactly sure if that story was true or not. Can you imagine if the previous call had been to the student's mom or boss or someone like that?I don't use drugs. I know you can lock the keys and stuff but I am sure people forget. Anyone have an amusing anecdote or anything?

That's what the "key locks" are there for... I have blackberry pearl & I always lock the key pads... Even with the keys locked, I can still answer the phone...

I understand you can lock the keys, but I know I would forget at least a few times. The fact that they have a name for this accidental call means that it is a common thing. Why can't i think of that name?
