    This is very wierd and I haven't been able to reproduce it yet. So flame away, but on my home screen I have 4 icons at the bottom with the right most being the calendar. When I just hit the calendar icon, it change momentarily (maybe half a second) to an image of lightning (similar to the background of the lightning picture that we've seen in some ads/previews of the strom) then went to my calendar as usual. Has anyone else had this happen? I've been trying to get it to do this again with no luck. WTF?

    What did you do to cause this to originally happen?

    I've heard about it from one person as well, although I've never seen it. It's happen to me a few times where I'll take a picture with the camera, then hit the red button go back to the home screen, and half my home screen will still be the picture I just took. Just another little bug

    Happened to me twice as I was unplugging/plugging it into my comp for a SYNC. I'm in the same boat as everyone else. Clueless as to its meaning

    Don't know. Just had the home screen on, hit the calendar icon. The icon disappeared and was replaced by the lightning image, then it went to my calendar. Haven't been able to reproduce it yet, although I did try Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start, Start from my old Contra days

    PS if you don't know what the above means, then you are too young and don't deserve to own a Storm

    I think it means that we are the "chosen ones" and will receive the OTA update before anyone else

    It happened to me today when opening up VZNavigator for the first time after reinstalling it. Where the icon used to be was temporarily replaced by part of the lighting bold picture frequently associated with this phone.

    I've actually have had this happen quite a few times. Most of the time it'll be a small image of the storm lightning background you've seen on all the previews for the storm. But once it happened to take up the whole screen, and it was the OEM background we all have been looking for but can't seem to find. When it does happen, it's usually when I click on one of my shortcut buttons on the bottom of the home screen. *Shrugs*

    go to options, bottom of the list, click on theme. That "desktop" appears as an icon and it's called precision zen "active".

    WTF

    Same here, looks like when you rapidly select icons it freaks out the OS so you get a piece of the storm picture to show up in the bottom right hand corner. Just happen to me for the first time. Tried to get it to happen by reading all the posts above. Kinda of funny...and annoying.
