I bought my original 8525 in December, and it worked fine until two weeks ago when I started to get the white screen of death. I called AT&T and they overnighted another phone. I don't know if it's a refurb or new, but it came with just the phone and no accessories. I'm thinking refurb.
Got the new phone (and sims card) on 7/2, and loaded Majik, and a couple of days later, started having the phone quit any program I was using and going back to the start page. I was out of town, and it was a PITA. Got back into town and re-flashed just see if it helped, and the same problem started again soon after.
Called again, and got another phone today. I decided to keep this one stock and see what happens...10 hours later, the new phone starts the same problem.
Others seem to have the same problem, and it may be caused by pressure on the touch screen from too much torque on the screws underneathe the screen. With use generating heat, expansion causes the touchscreen to close out all programs like hitting the X button.
Thoughts? What's the next best phone similar in function and size to the Hermes?
