I am not sure if it can done manually but if not y not let it lock itself takes about 10 seconds if u don't touch anything.
Automatic keyguard
From Main Menu>Settings>General>Security>Automatic keyguard>On.
After 10secs of no activity, it will auto lock.

Yeah, that's correct... but sometimes it's nice enough NOT to have key lock on, if you're texting alot  I usually SMS from skype but replies will be sent to the phone.
Would have been alot easier if S/E could just have figured out that people MIGHT want to lock the keypad also when they have a phone that can be used completely without opening the slider (except for the SMS part of course)

^^ Need to fix your BBcode
I found it strange at first, as the other sliders I've used have all been Samsungs. But if we're being honest, it really isn't that much of a chore to just slide up and down to lock is it? And I don't think the slider being 'wobbly' is a reason not to do this. The slider moves a fraction of a mm. It's not going to fall of is it?

You'll never know with a S/E, unfortunately I don't think they were what they used to be - but the C905 is great though, except for the tiny battery and some obvious missing features like the possiblity to lock the keys with slider closed and no "loop" through settings in the camera, you have to go through ALL the settings to get to the last one where you set geotagging, stability etc. |

The main reason I not to buy this phone is that there isn't shake control - I can't change the son't when I shake the phone and there isn't walkman button - the button which I use most times.

That's like saying I'm not going to buy a car because it doesn't have wings like the plane I'm used to flying!
Only walkman phones have these anyway!

Yes. That's the problem. I want one slider phone which to be 3 in 1 - very good camera, very good music player ( my previous post ) and very good phone. W910 is the only one phone which can do these things above - good (not very good but enought ) camera, very good music player functions and very good phone at all. And it looks beautiful!

Well the C905 is a great music player. I really don't see how missing shake function makes it any less of a player. The only thing it really needs is a dedicated Play/Pause button. However, the rest of the funcionality is exactly the same as the W910i.

It's problem for me - you don't need to unlock the keyboard to change the song. And as we see it's proble later to lock the keyboard in C905. And in W910 with the walkman button you can go directly in the player, not via the media manager...

In my opinion it's a stupid thing removing the shutdown menu from the phones without separated power button. They are more and more now (but why???) and nokia has this feature even on this type of key-layout, so there's no excuse... |

You might not realise but you can actually change the track by holding the volume down button for 1 second, or volume up to reverse, all with the keypad locked! Much easier than shakin the phone lol |

I'd like to see pressing and holding the 'C' key on the standby screen, locking the keys.
This is similar to how the symbian based phones lock shortcut is - pressing and holding the back key
I had been wondering this aswell, but just been waiting for the auto lock to kick in like many of you have already suggested!

I also desperatly tried pressing and holding the 'C' key. It seems to be unused when the slider is closed.
I really need locking keyboard, because waiting 10 sec sometimes is too much for me, and I want to do it with one hand, while opening the slider can be tricky sometimes and I can not safely do ti with one hand and especially closing it with one hand required bigger effort.
So Sony-Erricsson should repair it in future software upgrades.
Iot would be enough if a shortcut can be added at a first place for keyboard lock.
