On the 8830, you could press the power button on top left and screen would black out.
I can't find on the Storm if this is possible or you just have to wait on the 10sec minimum to time out.

Any tips?

I don't think the "lock" button does that any longer...

Also, if you're running the beta versions.... once in a while the phone will not shut down (and also doesn't turn off the backlight - until it completely drains the battery!)

It will shut the backlight off if you holster it... but still drains quickly as I think it's caught in an infinite loop (you also cannot pull up the application switcher).
