Dirty screen (grease) seems to do it to me.

Could also be a dirty trackball.

Mine recently started. I called up Orange and they gave me a replacement the day after for £15 admin fee. I think it's just the screen ****ing up and thinking it's being pressed. Areas of the screen kept going dead too, or really unresponsive.

Had all the above, but after using screen wipes and now a screen protector, seems to have cured it.

Could also be the tackball, as also cleaned that as well based on others comments on the N1 threads.

How does one clean the trackball of dirt that's likely inside?

I ran a hoover and with material to soften the suction and got something, but not much.

Remembering how dirty mice get....

I periodically roll it around for a minute or two using a lint-free pad dampened with IPA (spectacle cleaning solutions, camera lens cleaners etc).
