I bought in on Black Friday, and a few days later it started spazing out, almost as if someone else was touching the screen. The options comes up, then goes away, comes up, goes away, etc. Sometimes it wont let me get out of it, and the main menu looks like it's having seizures.

I was wondering if there was anything I can do, or if I should just call it in. We apparently lost the receipt, so is this necessary to get it fixed? I only have the factory warranty.

i would try doing a factory reset/security wipe

Mine does this when its too close to the outlet where we charge everything. Others report the same behaviour near plasma tv's. If that's not the case it may be defective.

Unplug from wall, move to a different area and see if that fixes it. If not do the wipe and re-install.

I had this happen when I had the PB sitting very near my cellphone holder, which is equipped with a magnet or something to auto-lock my phone.

I had the same symptoms when using a non-Blackberry micro-USB charger.

It's done it when I was outside, at school, it basically does it whenever it feels like it. I'll try the factory reset, and get back to you. It usually chills out for a bit when I restart it, but I usually have to force a restart.

Thank you for the numbers!!! If it continues, that would have been my next question. It's working fine now that I reset it. I'll have to wait a few days, but if it continues I will be giving them a call.
