[edit] Known Issues
White Screen According to many owners, the screen has a tendency to freeze and/or go white. [2]
Flimsy Parts The top of the phone is also know to have some flex issues.[3]
Battery cover It has been stated in some official and unofficial reviews,[cite this quote] that the battery cover is very difficult to open. The User's Manual shows that you only have to push out the battery cover, yet this is very difficult to accomplish.[citation needed] An easy fix for this is to put an eraser on the cover and use the it to slide the cover open.
