Button Lock? No Good

I just got a Sprint PPC 6800 to replace my Treo 700wx because I could not open Word 2007 documents and html emails. The current problem I am having is even with button lock the phone will unlock itself in my pocket and cause phone calls to be placed. For example, when I get a email it unlock and turns on in my pocket causing it to dial numbers and waste battery. With my 700WX the button lock made you press the center button after turning it on to unlock it after pressing the power. How do I enable this feature on this device?
Thanks

Do a search for Slide2Unlock on google or this forum... should do the trick.

EDIT:Alternately you can go to http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/s2u2.shtml and download for free.

Slide to unlock didn't work for me. If the keyboard slid open just a little it would disengage the Slide To Unlock. Did I have something set wrong?

This new version was completely redone in C++... there were problems with the old version when switching to landscape mode.. and it was a mem hog. Give it a shot.
