Default Strange problem, TD locked with black or VERY strange screen...

Since a week or so I've had some minor problems with my Diamond.

First after a couple of hours with no use, I saw the led blinking (hey, a new text messag, let's have a look) and the phone wouldn't wake up.

Even pressing the power button for a long time didn't make a difference, I resorted to taking out the battery and restarting it that way.
Everything was back to normal after turning it back on so I didn't really worry about it.

Until this weekend, I tried to wake it up from standby and the screen looked euhm... rather strange

I made a picture of it (please have a look at the attachment). In this state it didn't respond to any button, not even a long press of the power button.
While I was putting back my camera this screen disappeared and the normal touchflo was back, but still the device didn't respond to anything.

So again I resorted to removing the battery and everything has been fine eversince...

But now I'm a bit worried... Anyone have any idea what might be causing this? I must say it's been quite warm in my house the last week (about 27C) so I can imagine that temperature could have an effect...

Thanks for any suggestions.

Oh, I almost forgot..
It's a stock Dutch Diamond.
The latest ROM (2.03.404.3 NLD)

My first thought was: Oeh! Capture it!!

But I couldn't start the screencap program because well... the screen didn't really work

I have seen too this strange screen in my Diamond a couple of times, but I couldn't tell the reason. I was forced to reset the device as well.

I'm curious about the reason, any ideas?

Has your Diamond been functioning normally after that? Or has it developed more problems (and has perhaps been repaired)?

I'm a bit worried that this is the beginning of major problems...
