I received the device Friday, and so far I've had about 8 lock ups. I haven't installed any software, only sync'ed with Exchange 2003. No SD card or anything.

4 times today I've taken the phone out and it won't turn on. The right LED blinks green, but that is it. Opening the keyboard, removing the dummy SD card, etc, nothing will wake it up except a soft reset.

I called Verizon and they said hard reset, but I don't want to do that until I get back to the office Monday.

Anyone else experienced this?

There are many threads on this...do a search on lockups...there's really no definite answer..

Thanks, I read a few, but it seems most people have a lot of apps installed and are using the SD cards, also wanted to confirm this was not restricted to the Sprint version.

Verizon's data dept says they haven't heard of the issue yet, I told her I'll call back monday, by then I bet they will have had a few calls.
