Pocket Dialing

A couple months ago I posted about my new LG enV2 cell phone. After living with this phone for a while I had actually grown to really dislike it. Up until about a year ago I limited myself to flip phones to protect the screen and buttons. Technically speaking the env2 is a flip phone, but this one has buttons on the outside and can be used as if it weren't. As a result, I would end up pocket dialing everyone. I even sent a few pocket txt messages.

A couple of days ago Rachelle found online that there was a firmware update released for this phone (version vx910v06) that addressed the pitiful key lock. With the original firmware there was only a choice of no key lock or a one-step lock. This required you to only hit the OK button to unlock the keypad. This didn't work so well. With the new version they added a two-step lock which requires you to hit OK and then the CLR button. Since these buttons are basically next to each other this is still a failure, but it is more effective than the one one-step. I wish they would let you pick which keys to use; maybe I'll suggest that to LG (over and over again).
