I believe there's a program to do automatic keyboard locking, but it's not standard.
However, you
can do automatic device locking if you set a password on your device. Go to the
Security settings applet and choose
Device Lock. You can select a time interval to wait before the device locks.

No. Again, there may be third-party software to do this, but I'm not sure if it works on the Smartphone platform.

Not that I know of. I've see a registry entry that allows changing your location, so you could theoretically set it to dial things like "9" or "1", but I don't know if that works.

Stop killing it. If you've configured E-mail to check automatically, it's supposed to be running.
I never kill E-mail and have it check my account every 30 minutes. I generally get a full day's use out of it (although I don't tend to make many calls).

As far as I know, there's no way to add voice tags to contacts. (I can't even get the Voice Recognition program to recognize when I say "Yes", even though it's pretty good with names.)

That's not true. You need an external GPS receiver; the one inside the Q is only an aGPS receiver.
