This is a new one; I've never had this happen on any previous touchscreen-based PDA I've owned. I noticed something a couple days ago with my one week old h5455... the touchscreen seems to have a small "dead" spot, illustrated by the screenshot below. It's not
completely dead, but I have to press the stylus significantly harder in that one small area for any input to be recognized. If it were anywhere else on the screen, I might never have noticed it, but because of its location, it messes with Letter Recognizer and Transcriber occasionally if I happen to form part of a character over that spot.
The screenshot below is of a blank note where I just made stylus strokes across that area of the screen. The white spot in the center of the red circle is where no stylus input is detected. If I press hard in the area, eventually it'll be recognized. No matter what direction I move the stylus in, the shape of the "dead" spot is always the same.
Right now, I'm trying to decide if it's worth the almost 150-mile drive to the nearest CompUSA to exchange it before the 14 day return/exchange period is over. I'm sure it's something I can just adapt to, since this new iPAQ is otherwise simply amazing.
Anyone else seen something like this before?
