		+	Under OS2008, you can go to the control panel, Display, and select "Lock screen and keys" to have the device lock when the screen goes off.

		+	There is [https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_id=653&release_id=1887 AutoLock], which uses your N810's light sensor to decide when to lock the device. It might not be ideal if you use it in the dark (although with the screen set to medium brightness, it won't lock even in the dark) or if you tend to cover the sensor with your finger.
