As many BlackBerry Storm users know, all kinds of crazy things can happen when you are talking on your device and your face inadvertently presses buttons on the touchscreen. There was a free application, TalkLock, that solved this problem for you, however, CellAvant, decided to start charging for it when the put it on BlackBerry AppWorld. Fortunately for cheap BlackBerry Storm users like myself, BlackBerry developer Joe Krill has created a free BlackBerry Storm screen locking application called StormLocker.
StormLocker doesn’t have a lot of bells and whistles, but, it really doesn’t have to. When you are on a call, the screen locks. You can either choose to have a slider or a button sequence that will unlock the call.
I am sure that the next time I update my Five Free BlackBerry Storm Applications Worth Downloading post, StormLocker will be added to the list.
You can download StormLocker OTA to your device by pointing your BlackBerry Storm’s browser to http://www.joekrill.com/stormlocker/ota/. You can also install via desktop loader with a zip file you can finde here…

WOW how did they ever think of this…….
Hey guys this aplication ROCKS, it is better than ‘CellAvant’, simple basic screen, big responsive slide button !! That is all you want if you like the use.
Very nice, the addition to add a wallpaper would be a welcome addition.
Thnkas heaps to everyone who continues to release quality functional software for free!! TIGHTARSES UNITE!
Does anyone know how to configure it? I looked in the downloads folder but I don’t see it there?
Thanks!
