Changing Arrow direction on Unlock Arrow

Does anyone know how to change the direction of the unlock arrow? I use my phone in my left hand so it would be much more handy to use the phone if I could change the direction of the arrow. Currently the arrow goes from bottom left side of screen to the middle right side and this causes me to have to use both hands to use the phone even to do the simplest of tasks.

I want to be able to have the unlock arrow go from the bottom right side of the screen to the middle left side. This option would be a more normal flowing one handed function for me.

Is there an option for this? I have tried to find it and can not see it anywhere. I sure hope this can be changed because this is becoming very anoying. I like the swoop idea and think it could be handy and better than my old iPhone option but I need the direction change.

Please Sony.....make this an option in an update if it is not already one.

Thanks in advance for any help.

To change the direction of the unlocking gesture (ie: bottom-left to  upper-right & bottom-right to upper-left)

On the Lock Screen, hold and drag the top of the unlock slider to  the left

      Wow.  It hadn't even occurred to me that this might be possible.  I don't know if I really want mine changed, buit I've done it anyway, just because I can...

      How does one find out about these little tricks?  Is there a secret manual somewhere?

      KrazyD...your a genuis! Thanks so much for the Tip. I sure wish Sony would put out a manual with all the tips and tricks.

      I love this phone after having come from an iPhone. My only complaints are the sound level while talking on the phone (but I see a fix is coming for that) and battery life is nowhere near what they have described on the Sony Ericsson website. I feel like I was lead a little astray or ripped off by Sony on that one. At least I can get 3 days on a charge so far.

      However it sure is nice to see some of the websites that would not come up on my iPhone now work on this phone.

      Thanks again.
