I'm running the latest TMobile release that wsa puled back about as soon as it came out. One of things I like to do is automatically check my email, but it looks like this release version accomplishes this by turning the XDA fully on, including the screen and backlight and (worst of all) activating the touchscreen. Today I pulled the phone out of my pocket to discover that it had attempted to dial the mobile number of the first name on my contact list and sat there for about 13 minutes. Luckily the call (apparently) didn't go through or I'd have been embarassed.
I had previously been running an earlier beta (4.00.16, I think) and this wasn't a problem. Maybe it would tell me that it had tried unsuccessfully, but at least the screen never came on while it was trying (and it didn't always fail with the power off). Only problem is that this version doesn't include a 900/1900 band switch menu, and I plan to take the phone to Europe once in a great while.
I recall that 4.01.00 had the band switch menu - does it have the issue with powering up on it own?
The oter option is to turn off automatically checking my email - this wouldn't break my heart but it seemed like a nice feature...
