Anyone ever tried throttlelock?

It looks like the lock screen for Android where you match a pattern to unlock the device...

Check it out and let me know if you install, and results?

Of course it would, but I just flashed and I'm still customizing

Syke, I'll check it out.

Curious on this as well. The 3D effect is pretty slick.

pretty big thread here on all the screen locks, I had S2u2 and it drained my battery twice as fast.

I just put Pocket shield on my phone, not as "cool" looking, but works very well and doesn't seem to be draining my battery.

I use throttle lock and have not experienced any of the battery drain issues that i had with S2U2.

I use throttle lock regularly when I don't want others in my phone, works great. Been using it for about 3 months with no problems. I suggest using the simpler themes though and changing the skins to 12 hr. format is a bit of a pain.

S2U2 is working well for me and I've never had any battery drain issues with S2U2.

If you guys really just want a lock, the winmo 6.5 default lock works just fine. Don't know why people would money on getting locking programs when the phone can lock itself already..

Sure it isn't nice looking like others, but think about functionality over looks? I like how I can immediately unlock to text, emails or whatever
