phone fix and LAN party

Headed to Felecia's for the LAN party! Me, Mrs. H, and our friend Heather are in Tupelo and sittin on DR! On another note, these Motorola Backflip phones are great, except one thing...rebooting while texting. This annoying occurence happened daily until I found a forum on Motorola's site. Seems I wasn't alone with this issue. Someone on that thread posted a fix, though. Cutting a business card to fit under the battery completely corrects the problem! Motorola, though, unlike some companies (see HP post) responded to people complaining about the issue throughout the thread. They even asked for volunteers who had found success with the biz card fix to send in their phones for them to analyze, and they'd give them a replacement. There's only a paper thin piece of metal between the keyboard and battery, and when certain keys (in the middle mostly) are pushed, the battery loses connection with the contacts, and the phone reboots. Biz card inbetween keeps this from happening. How do I know? Just made this post from my Backflip...no reboots.

God bless, geek on, and let's kill some GW critters!
