Storm + face = potentially embarrassing situation
If you got a BlackBerry Storm for Christmas, then you probably discovered pretty quickly that if you hold the phone to your face a certain way, you might accidentally hit the 'speaker' or 'mute' onscreen buttons...with predictable results. You know that you you would hate to be in the middle of a low-key conversation about the smelly guy sitting next to you when all of the sudden your speakerphone kicks in and everyone can hear what you are saying!
TalkLock to the rescue
Custom mobile software publisher CellAvant has written a handy little program called 'TalkLock' which locks your Storm's screen while you are on the phone...thus making it impossible for you to accidentally mute or activate speakerphone with your cheek!
How it works
When you receive a call, you answer it as normal, and about 2-3 seconds later, the Storm's screen will lock with a starburst graphic with some basic information and a slider control. This slider is what allows you
to unlock the device back to the normal phone screen, letting you activate speakerphone, mute, flash or add a participant to the call.
If you want to lock the screen again, you simply hit the physical menu button and tap 'lock screen during call'. This will bring you back to the locked screen image.
I consider this app a "must-have" for your BlackBerry Storm.
