Touchphones: How to best prevent your ear touching the phone when talking ?

[geminihc]

i'm quite sure this is a very common annoyance people have with touch phones.

80% of the time, when i answer a call and talk, once the call is finished i have a program opened/opening; due to my ear touching the display and doing things unknowingly to me.

especially with win6 or w.65, since the start menu button is on the top, it tends to be where the top of my ear touches and ends up opening programs (in wm6.5) in the start menu.

HOW can i easily prevent this? why has microsoft not resolved this design issue?

On my case 95% of the answered/maked calls are connected to my bluetooth
Also you can push the off button.

Yep, pushing the power button to turn the screen off will solve your problems. I use S2U2 which also has a feature to automatically switch off the screen.

As stated by the above poster S2U2 works as well as other applications that could be found by searching on google for "freeware applications wm"....:) hope that helps you
