Apparently it isn't strong enough to survive my pocket. The display still works, but the touchscreen doesn't. That's got to be a record for me. I guess I'm happy I got it as my free phone. I guess I'll see what it takes to get it fixed, but I figure it'll be considerably more than I paid for the thing in the first place. It's back to the SE C510a for me.

This is just filled with awesome.
It's good, if not better than I thought it would be. If you like The Roots, John Legend, Soul Music, Hip Hop, or ... you should check it out. Now back to listening to the album. :-)
I've figured it out. (for backgroud, see my earlier post: http://blog.ajani.org/an-open-letter-to-palm) The short of it is that if you have a Pixi or a Pre and set a password on your phone, you need to be very careful!I set a passphrase on my phone because I had to in order to get my work calendar on my phone, and because the phone would occasionally unlock in my pocket. Now this would be a great idea, except after 8 unsuccessful password attempts, the phone is automatically wiped, and it doesn't reset the counter, nor does it relock the phone after an unsuccessful attempt. It even counts just hitting the enter button on the phone's screen as a password attempt, even if nothing has been typed in. All which adds up to a simple scenario where the phone will wipe itself in your pocket.Palm really needs to implement a better unlock: just swiping up isn't good enough. I guess for now, I'll just have to not have my work calendar on my Pixi, and I'll just deal with it unlocking. However, it's time to go and enter things in on Palm's feedback form and go and find someone internal to HP that can make sure they get the message.I am so much happier now that I figured out what's broken. At least I know that it won't do it again. :-)
