K, I snagged Lockbot Pro and actually...it's awesome. It's like WidgetLocker in that it allows you to use the volume keys to wake up the phone (hence not using the power button). It also lets you change the lock style (iPhone, Hero, Eclair, Froyo, X10 and Galaxy) and lets you do cool things like shake the phone gently to unlock it. So far I really like it.
i would think it uses battery .. a little more.
the power button has a special design to release power and tell the phone to recognize it is being turned on.
if you use other buttons like the volume buttons that are not designed to release a power. then there must be a constant power to these buttons and phone.. to monitor the buttons to see if there is any commands. like shaking of the phone to turn on...
that just my thoughts... i might be wrong.
