And have you ever noticed that with the exception of onyl a few companies like TI OEMs do not exist in America for cell phones. We rely on out of country Manufacturers for our phones. It kinda bites.

The US really needs change in this area if there is to be real innovation. It's sad but true, kind of a viscious (sp?) cycle: bad networks = no demand = no investment = bad networks.

Fold a peice of (thin) cardboard over a couple of times and put it in between the phone and the battery, that should "solve" the problem.

I had the automatic-reboot-on-use-of-flip feature, very, very, character building. I am surprised that the phone is still in one peice.
