Hitting buttons on screen while talking

I am having an issue with the new iPhone 4. My cheek seems to be hitting the buttons on the screen while I'm on a call, even though the screen seems to turned "off" when you put it up to your ear. Its often hitting the speak button, so switching between speaker and ear piece quickly.

I've used an iPhone since the original and never had this issue. Anyone else seeing this?

iPhone 4, iOS 4

This is a real concern. I used to throw on the bluetooth and lock the phones screen. With iOS4 there is no way to lock the screen and therefore we're all having this same issues.

I dont know why they would have changed what the sleep/wake button does duriong a call because it worked so well on the previous offerings. Hopefully, they fix it...and soon. Its a great device..but cant be called a great phone.
