Seems a bit redundant to have a slide lock when you have a pattern lock or pin activated. I must say this "feature" is quite irritating. Especially because I went from a G1 to this phone... all I had to do before was hit the menu key twice.
So, rooting is the only way to eliminate the slide lock? Isnt it risky for the lamen to root their phone? I hate the slide lock, but have been told that if you root your phone you lose out on some features. Is this true?
