Passwords get annoying on the BlackBerry. It’s time to lock and unlock your phone in a very creative way. PatternLock offers a new and fun way for you to lock your BlackBerry Storm. The lock screen shows 9 dots in a 3×3 grid. Before using PatternLock, you define what your lock pattern will be. The next time you see the lock screen, you trace your finger in the pattern you defined before and your device will unlock. Any other pattern and in any other order will not unlock the device. To change your options after installing, visit the PatternLock screen in your BlackBerry global options screen (where you change screen/keyboard settings, etc.)

This is the LITE version which only contains basic features. Purchase the full version to get the following features:
- Pick your own wallpaper image for portrait and for landscape
- Assign to the hardware lock key
- Password protect your options
- Individual application lock
- Location based locking (do not lock when in certain locations by using GPS)
- Full featured call screen lock with many display styles and ability to exclude numbers from engaging the lock
- Ability to disable autolocking when certain applications are running
- Tons of options to customize the way PatternLock looks
- Fix orientation of the lock screen in portrait mode
- Backup/Restore options
- Emergency call button on the lock screen with a custom phone number
- Lock out device after a certain number of failed tries
- Keep track of how many times your device has been locked out
- Show owner information on the lock screen
- Sounds/Vibration
- SMS,MMS and Email notifications on the lock screen

DISCLAIMER: PLEASE REMEMBER YOUR PATTERN! If you intend to use the autolock feature or leave PatternLock enabled for an extended period of time, you should disable the built in BlackBerry automatic password lock as it will still lock your device (even if automatic PatternLock is enabled). If you require maximum security for your device, you should use the built in BlackBerry password lock.

Features:

Autolock on startup and when device is inactive
Pick your own pattern over a grid of 9 dots (you may reuse dots in your pattern)
Simple design that seamlessly fits in with the BlackBerry Storm interface
A fun and easy way to secure your device
