Palm Pixi Plus Phantom Touching

[blitzcat]

i've been reading online about how palms will just touch themselves all over the screen, obviously causing annoyance for the user. so my palm pixi plus from verizon was doing this same exact thing, erratically touching itself so i did a soft reset and now ALL OF A SUDDEN my touchscreen is completely and utterly unresponsive. it does nothing. it receives messages, emails, and the like but it will not let me unlock the screen to use it. this has only happened to me today, as of about 2 hours ago so i haven't gotten down to the verizon store yet, but to be honest i like my phone and don't want a new one. i have a palm touchstone, definitely not third party. i did get a new case for it, but i've had my case for weeks now with no problems. i can't even do anything with the screen and i'm kind of at wit's end. Help!
