Instant "keyboard" lock

On my previous Sony Ericsson telephone, I had a two-key combination that would instantaniously lock the keyboard so I would not call someone in China or Mars by accident when I threw the phone in my pocket.

I found a setting in the X10 that would set the timer for when the screen would lock up to protect itself from unintentional input (Settings -> Sound and Visual Effects -> Timeout for the screen) - but setting the timeout to 15 or 30 seconds would be annoying, too.

After a while, I discovered that pressing the top on/off button briefly would lock the screen instantly - just as I wanted it to.

Simple, once you know how.
