New Tour owner here. Build date of 27July09. Trackball, screen, and battery life seem fine.
My issue is sometimes when I hit the "dots" button expecting to see a context menu or the application list screen, what I get instead is the running apps/"switch to" display as if I pressed Alt+ESC button.
So what I'm trying to verify is whether my phone is defective/need to be exchanged? I'm still within the first 30 days so can exchange for new one if it is infact broken.
Thanks everybody.

Has holding the menu button down always made the app switcher come up on all BB's or is that new? Had never experienced it on my old Curve, so I just wasn't sure if it was normal behavior or broken.
I just like Dots button better than the menu button. Haha.

Ok, I get the point with the menu/"dots"/bb button naming, but can we answer the question "when did the feature of holding menu button to get to app switcher appear first?"

Yes, but it's also referred to as the BlackBerry button or BB key due to the fact that it has the BlackBerry logo on it. It all comes down to personal preference really. I call it all three but I only refer to it as BB key in text because it's quicker to type.

I think with the storm running OS 4.7.0.xxx but don't quote me on that. Lol.

Also new to 4.6/4.7 OS's is using MENU to select a menu option. Click MENU, scroll to your selection (or press the corresponding 1st letter on keyboard), and you can click MENU again to select.
On 4.5 and previous, pressing MENU again would just close that menu.

Hitting the BB button on older BB's did not bring up the running apps.
