Can you keep the screen from tilting?

I am looking to upgrade my dear old Mogul, and while I was orignally going to go with the Touch Pro, but I'm considering the TP2. The only thing is, I HATE tilting screens, I tried a Tilt way back when, and just hated the tilting screen.

So on the TP2, is there any way to keep the screen locked so it won;t tilt at all when the keyboard is slid out?

It does stay locked unless you tilt it up. Its pretty stiff ( no homo ) . It locks in place when not tilting.

Yes, it click back and only tilts if you click it its forward.
Take a look at one at the store and you'll see what I'm talking about.
Or just look at a review on youtube, they usually show what I'm talking about.

Ahh, dude all you gotta do is slide the kb out. Well, at least on sprint they don't pop up or anything. One of the problems with it like that though is that when you set your phone down on the table or counter it kinda falls backwards on the screen. Other than that I don't see a problem...???

My local Sprint kiosk at the mall didn't have a TP2, I guess I'll have to look around more for one to hold and try out.

I was walking around our local mall yesterday and seen T-mobile had their "TP2" out. It was fully functional and worked fine. On a side note I do love how the sd card and reset button was on the sides of the phone. WTH is up with sprint's design? LOL

I think the reasoning behind the card under the battery is security. A businessman may have his beloved porn or company files on the card and that would make it a little harder to either steal or lose the card.

For the reset, they are just idiots.

I'd rather them be both on the outside.

hey emkorial,
check out this review, around the 2:10 mark the review shows off the sliding keyboard and how it "locks back" or tilts
