I've had the MDA and the Wing for over two years, and not ONCE has this ever happend. If I push the power button on the Wing or MDA, The phone is OFF and ALL BUTTONS (Other than the power button) including the touch screen are NON FUNCTIONAL. I can tap them, press them, rub them, whatever and they don't do ANYTHING.
The mogul works the same way, in theory. Once I tap the power button, the Phone buttons and the touch screen are NON FUNCTIONAL. They don't do ANYTHING.. It works perfectly, until it doesn't. The phone randomly decides that it's bored, so it wakes up out of it's sleep and makes those buttons active again..
Now, it's NOT me accidently pushing the power button and re-activating the phone.. I've tested that theory.. I turned off (put to sleep) the phone with the power button and then set it on my desk with nothing else touching it.. About 10 minutes went by.. and then.. blink.. backlight popped on and phone was ready to respond to button presses... No incoming call.. No incoming text... It just woke up...because...
I'm going to try S2U2, but honestly, if that is the best 'solution'.. I'll probably stick with my T-Mo Wing and understand why Sprint is loosing customer base faster than they can process cancellations... Such a shame. The network is awesome (at least in my area).. EVDO is SWEET. GPS Is GREAT... The mogul is,,umm.. well, yeah...
Thanks again to everyone,
Ben

The stock "lock" application requires pressing the screen in two places to unlock the phone and pressing it in one place to lock it. If EVDO rev A, GPS, and an "awesome" network in your area is not worth a few screen presses to you, then yes, you probably need to stay with your T-Mobile device.
By the way, Sprint did not design the basic operations of the PPC-6800, HTC did. So you will have to be like everybody else and find a different reason to hate Sprint.
