Does the screen still go blank if using a hands free, or is it just a light sensor? Is that what the thing that looks like an LED in the speaker hole is?

I haven't tried it myself, but would be interested to know.

Cheers,
Rupert.

holding the device flat does seem to keep the screen on, but I don't think its a ligh sensor - just having the phone upright causes the screen to go blank.

If you pull out the stylus during a call, then the notes application it started, and the screen will stay on until the end of the call. So you can then switch to keypad if you like

Personally, if I need the screen on again, all I do is press the power button. The screen then comes on again and I may push the keypad button to get the screen up.

To me it makes sense to lock the screen when connected as you may inadvertently press a button on screen (ie the call end)
