Hey rangerpilot, what does it do when you unplug the battery and plug it back in? My phone would do that from time to time. I think the phone i'm going to get with my new plan is going to be a motorola. I had a sanyo non flip phone that i DID throw agains walls and stuff (had an old girl friend, she made me very angry). The most that would happen is that the battery would come unhooked. Put the battery back on, push the power button, and its good to go. I finally dropped it in a hot tub, that pretty much killed it. It still turns on, but then it will just shut off in like 2 min. That was a very indestructable phone. Very solidly built.
