Mine used to do that too. I did the update and it stopped doing it.

Now it just eats batteries and is slow to enter things.
If I didn't have GPS I would go back to my I90 in a minute.

The phone i running java script in an interpreter - much slower than
running machine code written in assembler (or even in C), but java
script programmers come cheaper.

I might be wrong, but I'm not aware of any iDEN phones which use Java
internally for their own interface.
