When my work blackberry does that I usually just throw it has hard as I can on ground. It puts another nice scratch on the otter box case and makes me feel better at least.
When I renewed my contract, they made me take a new phone. It was free. It has more junk on it than I will ever use. It has a full keyboard that has keys that are too small for my fat fingers. The touchscreen crap fires off with only the softest touch. Other times, I just about have to jump on it to get it to function. I hate the scrolling function. Run your finger down the screen a little hard and it will scroll all the way to the bottom of the list. My old phone was essentially for talking and texting although it did have a camera that I never used. I am having much difficulty in getting used to this new phone. I am very tempted to just put the sim card back in the old phone and use it till it finally bites the dust.
Remind me, sometime, to tell you about the Labyrinthian maze you must solve if you want to actually develop apps for the Playbook. I think there's a Minotaur at the center of this one, too.
