BlackBerry Tips and Tricks - Howto Setup One Touch Keyboard Lock
Tested on a BlackBerry Pearl 8100 - 8110 - 8130 - 8300 - 8310 - 8320 - 8800 - 8820

If you have official BlackBerry Accesories then you wont have to worry about Locking the Keyboard as the official accesories have built in sensors -

Since Blackberry Curve is not a flip phone, it is necessary to lock the keypad before one slips it into his pocket or her purse. When I first got the Curve, I have to navigate to the Keyboard Lock icon and click the trackball to lock. Too cumbersome. Luckily, there is a faster way. It is possible to set the PTT (Push-To-Talk) button so that when you click on it, it will lock the phone. Here are the steps to set it up:

1. From home screen, navigate to the Options icon and click on it
2. Click the icon that reads “Screen / Keyboard
3. Scroll down the entry that reads “Left Side Convenience Key Opens:
4. Change it from “Push to Talk” to “Keyboard Lock
