Here's how I deal with it then. Go to Cookies Editor, go to Lockscreen settings. Turn OFF Lock on Standby. Set a Switch to manually lock the phone when you want it locked. There are two methods. Turn on Show Lock Button in task bar (on same screen) OR Add the Lock Device Quick Link available in the Misc. category of the "add Quicklinks" routine in Cookies. The downside, obviously, is that you have to manually lock the phone each time you set it down...it won't do it on it's own...ever.

You could also use another dialer program (I have PhonEx 2.2) that does not automatically shut down the screen when you put it to your ear.
