I got my first Curve (8350) on February 6th. Almost immediately after I got it, I noticed it was getting hot while charging. Then, one day I looked at it and half the LCD, an inch of the right side, was black. It also started locking up in applications but was told this was a software issue. Because wiping it clean and reinstalling didn't fix any of the above issues, I traded this one in for a new one under the 30 day guarantee.
I have my second Curve now. This one is maybe two weeks old and guess what?? My LCD is acting up. Twice now, my entire screen has gone black save for the top band, where the battery indicator, date, service bars, etc. are located. Thankfully, just pulling something else up, like my text messages and then clearing it, seems to "wake up" my home screen.
No, I haven't dropped my phone and no, I haven't mishandled it in any way. In fact, this phone still has its factory plastic across the screen left intact.
So, here is my question. Is it that I have horrible luck and have happened to get two bad phones in a row? Is there anyone else who has experienced "LCD disappearance" in their Curve2? If this is a common or known problem, I'm thinking I should go with a different BB.
Opinions from experience, please?
