TP2 locking by itself

[drtnsnw1]

First off, please be gentle with me, I am such a complete newb with this awsome phone it is scary!! I am in way over my head and have a bunch of questions I am looking for answers too and asking a few more.

I have had this phone almost from the day VZW put it out and this has always bothered me. The darn thing will just be sitting there and lock on it's own. Is this normal??

On a side note, what is a super easy way for me to back up my contacts before I start fiddling with all these cool roms and cabs? It would make me puke if I lost all my contacts!! I don't use outlook, my company in it's wisdom uses lotus so I have know way of syncing with that
