When my phone is in my purse it sometimes dials a number or either answers a call without me knowing.  How can I lock my keypad to prevent this?

My recollection is that the standard PalmOS keyguard does not protect the four "hard buttons", so it's still possible to have the phone dial or answer accidentally.  There are third-party tools that will protect those keys too.
