I've been experiencing, very frequently, a problem where the screen goes black and does not ever recover. It doesn't appear locked up as I can feel the vibration of keys when the screen is black but I need to do a battery pull/restart in order to get a screen back.

This tends to happen a lot if I take a picture and then click on the gallery icon at the top right. Also, it happens in other apps in general like browsing., etc.

Has anyone else been experiencing this problem? Is it just me? If so, I guess I need a new phone! Before anyone blasts me, I did search and look around in the "known issues" section :p

Edit: it just happened again where I take a picture and click to view the picture. If I press on the picture I just took, the screen shuts off and I have to battery pull! Arghh.. is this happening to anyone else?
